P a g e 1 0 6 o f 2 0 2 CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BAYHAM STAFF REPORT TO: Mayor & Members of Council FROM: Paul Shipway Administrator SUBJECT: Municipality of Bayham Procedural By-law BACKGROUND DATE: October 16,2014 FILE: NUMBER: F2014-032 On December 19, 2002 the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham passed By- law No. 2002-093, being a by-law to adopt a Council Procedural By-law. On October 2, 2014 at the regular meeting of Council, notice was given pursuant to By-law 2007-121 , being a by-law to adopt a Notice Provision Policy, that the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham proposes to consider and/or pass a by-law at the next regular meeting of Council, being October 16, 2014 to establish procedure for governing calling proceedings and place of meetings -Council Procedural By-law. DISCUSSION As the Municipality improves the computer and information technology infrastructure opportunities arise to present information to the public in more efficient and effective means, which in turn provides opportunities for the public to be more involved in and aware of the decision making process. The key aspects of the proposed Procedural By-law is to increase the amount of time that Council and the public has with agenda information, present information with more clarity and ensure that irregularities and vagueness are removed from the ag~nda , and Council procedures. Specifically, the Procedural By-law dictates how to appropriately submit information to the agenda and how information may be disposed of at a meeting of Council and followed up upon pertaining to the business of Council. Additionally, the proposed Procedural By-law provides a back bone to build various workflows through Laserfiche which will produce significant financial and human resources efficiencies into the future. The proposed Council Code of Conduct is to formalize accountability procedures and responsibilities; moreso the Council Code of Conduct creates another mechanism for Council to demonstrate commitment to accountability and transparency. The proposed Council Code of Conduct is based on best practices from progressive municipalities in Ontario and has been vetted by legal. When considering a Council Code of Conduct, Council generally has the following options for enforcement: Option #1 : Integrity Commissioner Appointment That Council appoint an Integrity Commissioner, pursuant to Section 223.3 of the Municipal Act, to investigate any complaints filed by Members of Council, staff or the public concerning a breach of the Council Code of Conduct. Option #2: Expectation of Council Members Meeting Code of Conduct That Council exercise fair and sound judgment in following the Council Code of Conduct ensuring all conditions are met through self-management practices. Option #3 : Investigation by Mayor. Designate and/or Administrator That Council approve the practice that provides for any investigation of a potential breach of the Council Code of Conduct be investigated by the Mayor, Designate and/or Administrator. A written report and accompanying recommendation would be brought forward to Council for consideration. Staff Report F2014-032 regarding "Municipality of Bayham Pro...Page 107 of 202 Staff propose Council a pprove Option #3. Option #1 was not proposed as the Municipality has finite financial resources and to appoint an Integrity Commissioner and pay the retainer for an incident that may not happen does not seem prudent use of said finite resources . Secondly, with the Accountability Act going for second reading, and the impetus by the Province to pass said Accountability Act, the Ontario Ombudsmen may soon have broad powers to investigate all aspects of Municipal Council and Administration . This recommendation is written based on the assumption that the Municipality would default to the Ontario Ombudsmen and not pay for private Ombudsmen services. The second option has not been proposed as it is prudent to have some form of investigation and potential for punishment for contravention of the Council Code of Conduct outside of self governance. RECOMMENDATION 1. THAT Report F2014-032 re Municipality of Bayham Procedural By-law be received for information; 2. THAT the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham direct staff to bring forward a by-law to adopt the Municipality of Bayham Procedural By-law for Council consideration.
