BACKGROUND
On 11 June 2008, City Council approved a process for tracking formal Inquiries and

the second meeting of every second month. Accordingly, this report is being presented
to Council for information.

As per the process approved by Council, this report includes the status of any
outstanding Council inquiries. The report also includes the status of outstanding Council
motions and directions to staff, with the actions that will be taken to ensure that both are

Consistent with Council’s direction, the tracking and reporting of formal motions and
inquiries is undertaken by the City Clerk and Solicitor’s Office. Protocols have also been
established within departments to ensure department-specific motions and inquiries are
processed in a timely manner. In those instances where there may be a delay, Council
