REPORT:
At the Special Meeting of Council on August 31, 2009, there were a number of
reductions to the budget in order to meet the 2009 budget shortfall. As a result
Council passed the following resolution:
"THAT Item #1 of Appendix # 3 to Report CAO-004-09 -Program Specifics -Staff
Recognition/Long Term Service Program and Staff Appreciation be amended as
follows:
"WHEREAS the Mayor and Council wish to continue to recognize the Employee
Service Award Program;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Chief Administrative Officer and
Directors be directed to create a proper and special presentation event prior to
November 1, 2009, for Council's approval, at a maximum cost of $5000."
2. COMMENT:
In the past, based on a longstanding policy, staff have been recognized for their 5,
10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 years or more of service with the Municipality of Clarington.
For the past number of years, the staff long term service awards have been
combined with the staff recognition program and an annual Christmas party held in
November of each year. To meet the 2009 Budget shortfall, this event has been
cancelled.
This year there are 61 employees to receive long term service awards. In order to
recognize these employees for their contribution to the Municipality, the CAO's
Office will organize an event to present the employee with a certificate and a gift of
appreciation. This is proposed to take place at the GPA Meeting on October 19,
2009. The staff being recognized will be invited to a continental breakfast in the
lunchroom of the MAC building immediately prior to the meeting in order to show
appreciation for their accomplishments.
4. CONCLUSION
It is recommended that Council approve the 2009 Long Term Service event. It will
be organized by the CAO's Office and be part of the General Purpose and
Administration Committee meeting on October 19, 2009 under the "Presentations"
section of the agenda at a cost not to exceed $5,000. It is also recommended that
