Kingston councillors are proposing to review the mandates and efficiency of existing advisory committees to ensure they are making meaningful contributions and adapting to post-COVID needs. The review aims to streamline operations, respect people's time, and ensure the committees align with the city's current priorities.
Kingston councillors propose reviewing advisory committees to ensure meaningful contributions and efficiency, with a focus on adapting to post-COVID needs.“I don’t want advisory committees that are just checking a box. Let’s actually make sure we’re doing good, substantial work,” said Coun. Brandon Tozzo.
“It is about creating efficiencies, respecting people’s time, respecting staff time, and ultimately seeing if we can reorient committees and advisory groups,” Tozzo added.“People really want to feel like the work they do is valued and important, and meaningful,” Stephen said. “I think that a review of the committee mandates is one way that council can really make sure that the input we’re soliciting is what we’re looking for and the feedback is helpful.
