(a)Progress Report on Council's Legislative Process Review.

The Special Committee to Review the Final Report of the Toronto Transition Team reports having received the following report:

(February 9, 1999) from the City Clerk providing an update on the ongoing Council legislative process review underway by the City Clerk's Office; advising that the volume of business facing the amalgamated Council, its large size, and its wide-ranging municipal authority, means the legislative process is unlike any other experienced by the former municipalities; that City Clerk's staff are reviewing the legislative process to ensure the right supports are in place and the necessary changes are implemented to create a more transparent, convenient, accessible, and understandable legislative process for Members, staff and the public; that further staff reports recommending specific legislative process improvements will be brought forward as the review proceeds; and recommending that this report be received for information.
