The problem with too much remote work is that it is more difficult to assess employees for leadership roles when you don’t see them interact directly with others. I think it is clear that many people can deliver very working remotely but there may be a cost to those employees in lost opportunities
Perhaps they could also correct the dangerous lane designations at Albert and East, McNabb west near Elmwood and most recently Second line West at Goulais. None of these make any sense.
He asked for a report on how to reduce consultant costs and got one that said all consultant costs were justified. City staff need to start doing what they are instructed to by council resolutions. I support councillor Kinach!
How is it possible that the Board would not be aware of overtime costs and staffing levels until February? They are the governing body! Someone should resign!
As long as the emissions continue to decrease we should support them. It is frustrating to see those who earned a living because the plant existed now complain while collecting their teachers pension!
It is also the law to have two people in the boat when pulling a skier or tube. Hope he was charged! I see this way too often, especially with jet skis. Why would someone put their kids at risk like this?
The large amount of money the city is often over or under budget indicates a poor ability to properly estimate the cost of projects. This is not a windfall but rather an example of poor performance by staff. There is no savings but rather the cost was less than they projected and budgeted for.
When will these councillors learn that trying to increase the population and downsizing parking and roadway lanes are in direct opposition to each other. Make up your minds! Which do you want? I can’t believe the consultant actually said not having enough parking downtown would be a good problem to have! Who hires these nuts?
The city ranks as one of the most dangerous in Canada and our hospital recently ranked 13th worst in the province. Focus on the priorities! This idea of less parking and fewer lanes does not coincide with growing our population.
