The By-law was enacted by Council on November 9, 2016 and is meant to repeal By-law No. 2014-435. This By-Law provides delegated authority to officers within the Transportation Services Department to perform various operational activities, and requires that use of delegated authority be reported to the appropriate standing committee at least once per year. DISCUSSION Traffic Services and Transportation Planning are the two Service Areas of the Transportation Services Department that report to the Transportation Committee. To meet the reporting requirements as identified in Schedule “G” Transportation Services of By-Law 2016-369, each Service Area has produced a consolidated list which highlight the use of delegated authority in 2017 (see Documents 1 and 2). CONCLUSION The Transportation Services Department will continue to report to Transportation Committee once per year on Schedule “G” – Transportation Services of By-Law 2016- 369.
