Gosse Ward(s) Involved: n/a Date of Report: February 15, 2007 Report No.: CRPS-07-030 Subject: COUNCIL APPOINTMENTS TO COMMITTEES RECOMMENDATION: That Councillor K. Galloway be appointed to the Arts and Culture Advisory Committee for the period December 4, 2006 -November 30, 2008; and, That Councillor J. Gazzola be appointed to Heritage Kitchener for the period December 4, 2006 - November 30, 2008; and further, That Councillors B. Vrbanovic and K. Galloway be appointed to the Kitchener Public Library Board for the period December 4, 2006 -November 30, 2010. BACKGROUND: On December 4, 2006, Council made its appointments to various committees and boards with the exception of the Arts & Culture Advisory Committee, Heritage Kitchener and the Kitchener Public Library Board. Although at the Striking Committee meeting of December 4t" Councillors K Galloway, J. Gazzola and B. Vrbanovic and K. Galloway were appointed to the Arts & Culture Advisory Committee, Heritage Kitchener and the Kitchener Public Library Board respectively, Council never ratified their appointments. REPORT: At the Striking Committee meeting of December 4, 2006, the Committee did put forward the appointments of Councillors Galloway, Gazzola and Vrbanovic to the committees and board as outlined above. The Committee however, did not make any other appointments to those committees and board. On January 15, 2007 the final appointments to the committees and board in question were made yet, the Council appointees were not ratified by Council. It is clear that the intent was for those Councillors to be appointed to the committees and board and only due to an oversight were they not formally appointed. Adopting the recommendation contained in this report will rectify the situation. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: n/a R. Gosse - Director of Legislated Services
