Fusco, Director of Legislated Services/City Clerk, 519-741-2200, ext. 7809 PREPARED BY: A. Fusco, Director of Legislated Services/City Clerk, 519-741-2200, ext. 7809 WARD(S) INVOLVED: All DATE OF REPORT: November 2, 2021 REPORT NO.: COR -2022-475 SUBJECT: Nominating Committee — 2022 Appointments to Advisory and Quasi- judicial Committees RECOMMENDATION: That the list of recommended candidates for Advisory and Quasi-judicial Committee vacancies be approved, as attached to staff report COR -18-014 in Appendix "A". REPORT HIGHLIGHTS: The purpose of this report is to appoint members to advisory committees and quasi-judicial committees. • This report supports the delivery of core services. BACKGROUND: After every municipal election, appointments to advisory committees and quasi-judicial tribunals are made by the Striking Committee based on recommendations of the Nominating Committee (the Committee). Board (Kitchener Housing Inc., Centre in the Square and Kitchener Public Library) appointments are recommended via resolution directly to Striking Committee from the respective agencies. In June 2021, Council reappointed the following five (5) members, or their designates, to the Committee for a two-year term: • Kitchener Waterloo Community Foundation (KWCF) — President/Chief Executive Officer; • Kitchener -Waterloo Multicultural Centre (KWMC) — Chief Executive Officer; • United Way Waterloo Region Communities (UWayWRC) — Chief Executive Officer; • Capacity Canada (CC) — Chief Executive Officer; and, • Greater Kitchener Waterloo Chamber of Commerce (GKWCC) — President/Chief Executive Officer. *** This information is available in accessible formats upon request. *** Please call 519-741-2345 or TTY 1-866-969-9994 for assistance. Page 4 of 19 The Committee's mandate is to assess applicants for the advisory and quasi-judicial committees of Council and to present Council with a list of recommended candidates for each committee. The Boards of Kitchener Public Library (KPL), Centre in the Square (CITS), Kitchener Housing Inc. (KHI), and Kitchener Power Corporation (KPC) are responsible for selecting their own candidates for Council's approval and so are not considered by the Committee for recommendation. REPORT: Recruitment for all advisory committees, quasi-judicial and board vacancies took place over a 3.5 -week span from August 29, 2022 to September 21, 2022 using various means including community outreach, newspaper ads, social media, and the City's website. Current members of the advisory committees were also encouraged to re -apply. The Committee met on October 3, 2022 to review 117 applications received for the following City advisory committees: • Arts and Culture Advisory Committee; • Committee of Adjustment; • Compass Kitchener; • Active Transportation Advisory Committee (formerly known as Cycling and Trails); • Downtown Action and Advisory Committee; • Economic Development Advisory Committee (sector -specific vacancies); • Climate Change and the Environment Committee; • Heritage Kitchener; • Property Standards. The Aeronautical Noise Advisory Committee was not advertised as the Region of Waterloo has indicated the committee was suspended. The Safe and Healthy Committee was not advertised as per program requirements to sunset the committee. Applications and appointments for the Grand River Accessibility Advisory Committee (GRAAC) occur as a collective regional effort and a report is expected in the new year. Supported by the City Clerk, the Committee reviewed all applications taking into account a number of factors including: • The Terms of Reference of committees where available; • The Applicant's 1St choice of committee, wherever possible; • The Applicants' expertise and interest as outlined in their application; • A mix of returning members and new members to support succession planning and continuity within the committees; and, • Consideration of applicants that reflect the diversity of the community as a whole as self -identified by the applicants. The Committee was challenged to fill all the prescribed sector -specific vacancies for the Economic Development Advisory Committee. There were no applicants for the sector -specific vacancies of Downtown Office Owner or Major Retail (outside of the downtown) but greater interest from other sectors than previous years including marketing, hospital and housing Page 5 of 19 industry, enough to fill the required complement. The Committee recommends that the Terms of Reference be revisited prior to the next term to consider composition. A listing of applicants for each advisory and quasi-judicial committee is presented as a suggested slate for Council's consideration and is attached as Appendix `A'. Also attached is Appendix `B' which is a listing of applicants not assigned to a committee. Note that in some cases, these applicants had selected a different committee, quasi-judicial or board as their first choice and based on the factors noted above, were allocated to their second choice to support the analysis. Please note some board selections are still pending. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: This report supports the delivery of core services. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: None at this time. Advertising for the advisory committees is contained with the operational budget of Legislated Services. The Nominating Committee is a volunteer committee. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: INFORM — This report has been posted to the City's website with the agenda in advance of the Striking Committee meeting. COLLABORATE — The Nominating Committee is comprised of individuals who provide direct advice and recommendations regarding the composition of the City's advisory committees. The members of the various advisory committees also provide advice and recommendations to Council and, in this way, partner with the City in the decision-making process. PREVIOUS REPORTS/AUTHORITIES: There are no previous reports/authorities related to this matter.

REPORT HIGHLIGHTS: • The purpose of this report is to appoint the citizens to the Equity and Anti -Racism Advisory Committee to Council. • The financial implications are none. • Community engagement included working with former members of the Mayor's Task Force on Equity, Diversity & Inclusion, who compromise the Interim Nominating Committee. • The application process was open to community members, including the inaugural Equity & Anti -Racism Advisory Committee members from August 29th to September 19th, 2022, advertised through direct emails, social media, and the City's website. • Selections by the Interim Nominating Committee were made by prioritizing voices who have been historically underrepresented or excluded, including Black, Indigenous, racialized, 2SLGBTQ+ identified, people with disabilities, religious minorities and the intersections of these identities. • This report supports the delivery of core services. BACKGROUND: The Equity & Anti -Racism Advisory Committee fulfills an advisory role, providing advice and recommendations to Council on matters related to equity and anti -racism to support and further the City's strategic directions. Membership on the Advisory Committee will include between eight (8) to twelve (12) citizen community members who live, work, attend school and/or own property in Kitchener and will prioritize voices who have been historically underrepresented or excluded, including Black, Indigenous, racialized, 2SLGBTQ+ identified, people with disabilities, religious minorities, and the intersections of these identities. Although members of City Council will not have an official seat on this advisory committee, mechanisms of Council inclusion will be put in *** This information is available in accessible formats upon request. *** Please call 519-741-2345 or TTY 1-866-969-9994 for assistance. Page 10 of 19 place to ensure open channels of communication and opportunities for updates on an ongoing basis. The Interim Nominating Committee as approved by Council in report COR -2021-21 fulfils the role of facilitating a nomination and appointment process led by community members who bring a diversity of voices and expertise not currently represented in the existing Nominating Committee. Following the process outlined in COR -2021-21, former members of the Mayor's Task Force on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion were invited to be part of the Interim Nominating Committee. Four former members responded to the open call to sit on the Interim Nominating Committee: • Beth Wilson - Advocate for persons with Developmental Disabilities & Community Connector • Colleen James — EDI Consultant and Community Equity Advocate • David Kuhn — Accessibility Advocate • David Ramirez Bumaguin - Member of the Latino -Canadian Community of Waterloo Region The Interim Nominating Committee has completed its work and is recommending a list of appointments for the Equity & Anti -Racism Advisory Committee. REPORT: The application process for community members to apply to the Equity & Anti -Racism Advisory Committee was launched on August 29, 2022, remained open for three (3) weeks and closed on September 19, 2022. Applications were submitted through an online platform, although paper copies and alternative methods were made available. A total of twenty-eight (28) applications were received, twenty (20) from new applicants and eight (8) from current Equity & Anti -Racism Advisory Committee members. Most of the applications fit the demographics of the priority groups previously identified (see Appendix A for a summary of demographic data for all applicants). Members of the Interim Nominating Committee reviewed all twenty-eight (28) applications through a thoughtful, collaborative and consistent process. Each application was rated based on the responses provided to the questions in the application, which focused on; 1) Why the applicant would like to be a member of the advisory committee, 2) What they hope to contribute, and 3) What they hope to gain. Each member of the Interim Nominating Committee was provided with an Applicant Review Table with items to consider while reviewing the applicants' responses: o Do they have an active interest in equity and anti -racism at the local level? o Do they have the expertise, knowledge, and experience needed to address social issues at the municipal level? o Will they attend committee meetings and be actively engaged? o Would serving on the committee enhance their skills, knowledge, or networks? o Would the committee benefit from their participation? Page 11 of 19 o Are they representative of the community the committee aims to amplify (i.e., historically, and intentionally excluded groups)? Based on those considerations the Interim Nominating Committee members were asked to rate each question from 1-5 based on the instructions provided and provide a tentative decision as to whether they should hold a position on the committee (yes, no, maybe). In addition to the responses to the questions, consideration was also given to demographics, representation, and expertise. Once all members completed their review of the applicants, a meeting was held of the Interim Nominating Committee, facilitated by City staff, whereby an amalgamated Applicant Review Table was shared with the members which ranked the applicants based on their individual responses. Through both quantitative and qualitative measures, a confirmed list of eleven (11) applicants were agreed upon with members requesting further information from one applicant. City staff contacted the applicant via email requesting additional information which was shared with the Interim Nominating Committee. Based on the applicant's response a vote was taken by the members and the 12th member of the Equity and Anti -Racism Advisory Committee was decided on and the recommendations for the group of applicants listed below were made. As per the outlined process, all applications were reviewed, discussed, and carefully considered by members of the community whom themselves have experienced racism, oppression, homophobia, ableism, discrimination, exclusion, and who also hold significant expertise in the areas of community engagement, access and inclusion and equitable practices. Equity & Anti -Racism Advisory Committee All twelve (12) spots were available for appointment; however, consideration was given to current committee members re -applying as the inaugural Equity & Anti -Racism Advisory Committee, since they had a shortened term (10 months). In addition, the continuation of members from this committee was seen as beneficial by the Interim Nominating Committee. The following twelve (12) individuals have applied and are being recommended for appointment: • Ann Marie Beals • Avni Adams* • Ayesha Munir* • Danny Martin* • Fiorella Benini • Leo Campbell • Oluseun Olayinka • PaulOkoye* • Rida Rahman • Saba Oji* • Veronica Vasquez • Yexin Tan* *Denotes a returning committee member Page 12 of 19 It is the recommendation of City staff that Council approves the list of twelve (12) nominees put forward for the Equity & Anti -Racism Advisory Committee. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: This report supports the delivery of core services. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: There are no financial implications at the time of writing this report. A review of Committee Compensation/Honoraria practices is expected to be completed in Q1 2023. Any financial implications as a result of the review will be presented to Council in a separate report. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: INFORM — This report has been posted to the City's website with the agenda in advance of the council/committee meeting. COLLABORATE — The Interim Nominating Committee was developed in collaboration with members of the Mayor's Task Force on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, which is predominately comprised of community members, whose lived experiences and expertise in a wide variety of areas directly informed the recommendations made for the membership on the Equity & Anti - Racism Advisory Committee.
