Emergency and Protective Services Committee
- Time of Meetings
The Emergency and Protective Services Committee recommends that the City Clerk be directed to:
(1)reschedule future meetings of the Emergency and Protective Services Committee, commencing with the meeting
scheduled for April 21, 1998, to start at 9:30 a.m.;
(2)re-assign the Committee Rooms for Standing Committee meetings as follows:
(a)Room A for the first day of a Standing Committee meeting; and
(b)Room C for the second day of a meeting when a second day is required.
The Emergency and Protective Services Committee submits the following communication (March 25, 1998) from
Councillor Dennis Fotinos, Chair, Emergency and Protective Services Committee, addressed to the City Clerk:
AThe workload of the Emergency and Protective Services Committee is clearly more than had originally been anticipated
by staff. We are dealing with some very complex issues ranging from the licencing of taxis to the restructuring of the Fire
Department. We cannot give proper consideration of these issues in one afternoon every month. Our March 24, 1998,
meeting continued into the evening and into the next day.
Consequently, on behalf of the Committee, I am requesting that you take the appropriate actions to schedule all further
meetings of the Emergency and Protective Services Committee, commencing with the April session, at 9:30 a.m. in
Committee Room A. The second day, if needed, of the Urban Environment and Development Committee can be scheduled
for Committee Room C. In fact, this should be the scheduling practice for all Standing Committees.
Therefore, if the Emergency and Protective Services Committee needs a second day we would meet in Committee Room C
as well. This would allow Standing Committees to continue without disrupting other meetings.
I thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this regard.@
