Origin
Summary
This report is in response to City Council's request for a report on a new Protocol and Policy to clarify the constituency office renovations process so as to reduce costs for these renovations using competitive bids and to ensure Councillors sign off on all expenses.
Staff have developed a new Protocol and Process as included in Attachment 1. Staff strongly recommend that Councillors do not involve themselves directly in any purchasing transactions to avoid issues of fairness, conflict of interest and Code of Conduct.
