Review of Outstanding Items

Subsection 35(2) of City Council's Procedure Bylaw requires the City Clerk to provide an annual report to the Executive Committee which lists all items and the priority of the items that have been tabled or referred by City Council or one of its committees.  The purpose of this report is to provide a list of the outstanding items for Regina Planning Commission as at December 31, 2019.

Regular review of outstanding items provides both Council and the City Administration an opportunity to review and refocus priorities and resources as required based on current initiatives, needs of the community and corporate strategy.

None.

No specific public communication is required, however, this report will be posted to the City of Regina website for public viewing.

Lists of Outstanding Items are maintained for City Council and its main committees.  Items on the list may originate from:

•              a recommendation in a report which indicates that another report will be forthcoming;

•              a motion adopted to refer an item back to the Administration or to request a report on a related matter;

•              a motion adopted by City Council or another committee requesting the Administration to prepare a report.

The Office of the City Clerk is responsible for maintaining and updating the lists and items remain on the list until a report or the committee recommends their removal.  Lists are updated with additions and deletions, as meetings are held. 

The outstanding items report is first circulated to Regina Planning Commission to have a detailed discussion of each item with Administration and among members to determine priorities for Council consideration.  The updated list is then sent to Executive Committee for further consideration and direction to the City Manager for any changes in priority.

The last review of outstanding items as at November 30, 2018 was considered by Executive Committee on February 13, 2019.
