Origin
(October 7, 2009) Report from Executive Director, Municipal Licensing and Standards
Summary

The purpose of this report is to recommend to Council, approval of 2009 Operating Budget technical adjustments related to the Integrated By-law Enforcement initiative that would:

 

-           Transfer budget resources from the Solid Waste Management Services Division to provide for By-law Enforcement related to the 70% Waste Diversion Program.

 

-           Transfer budget resources from the Parks, Forestry and Recreation Division to provide for By-law Enforcement related to Parks.

 

-           Supports the Council approved program review initiative to realize efficiencies resulting from consolidating By-law Enforcement within the Municipal Licensing and Standards Division.

 

It is necessary to make several technical Operating Budget adjustments to reflect the transfer of staffing and non-staff resources required to implement Integrated By-law Enforcement.  The budget adjustments reflect transfers between Municipal Licensing and Standards, Solid Waste Management Services and Parks, Forestry and Recreation Divisions. There is no net financial impact on the City’s operating budget.

 

The General Managers of Solid Waste Management and Parks, Forestry and Recreation have been consulted in the preparation of this report and concur with these recommendations.
