Body
Administration Recommendation(s)

Purpose
To improve the governance emphasis of the policy and establish criteria to determine the governmental actions that are policy.
Summary
The new policy wording enhances governance by concentrating on strategies, priorities, service levels, and outcomes in the public interest and public good.
The “Council Policy” definition is revised to clarify the instances that are covered by policy and the responsibility for policy approval, amendment or repeal.
New criteria is established to determine the governmental actions that are policy versus administrative directive. Administration evaluated the outstanding policies and created the Council Policy Report using the criteria. This report identifies new policies for Council consideration and those policies scheduled for repeal due to the matter being included in a new policy, bylaw, or administrative directive.
