a broader difference will be specifically discussed. She noted that it is important, when grading,
to keep in context that the Plan for a Healthy Kitchener is a 20 year plan.

At April’s meeting, the results will be discussed, and a draft final will be presented at May’s
meeting.

Regarding communication of the results, the metrics will not be in the Annual Report to
Citizens as there was concern that Compass Kitchener and City of Kitchener may confuse
residents. It was suggested that the results be provided at Council on June 9, 2008, after
Council has received the Annual Report to Council in the morning on that same day.
Additionally, results can be presented in a spread in Your Kitchener, and potentially brochures
can be created and released to the public. These items will be further discussed at the April
meeting, and a decision can be made. Shelley, along with the Indicators Working Group will
work together on the final product.

The 7 theme of Effective and Efficient Government was discussed as it will not be included in

th
the 7, and results will be considered further at the next meeting.
