That Council require Tourism Nanaimo, the Nanaimo Prosperity Corporation and the Nanaimo Systems Planning Organization to provide their future updates to Council on a semi -annual, rather than quarterly basis.
you. Well, we'll see. Thank you, you, worship. So my motion is that council require tourism, nanaimal. Nano Prosperity Corporation and the Nimosystems planning organization to provide their future. Updates to council on a semiannual rather than quarterly basis. I would like to speak briefly. To it if there's a seconder. Officer Armstrong, please. Thank you, your worship. Then it was my original motion to have these organizations report. To us for council oversight, and I think that's very important. I have had discussions, though, with a number of people, including counselors, who feel that quarterly is perhaps not necessary, that semiannual would suffice. And my feeling is that these organizations now are well enough organized that semiannual reports would be, in fact, sufficient. And I don't want them spending. Time preparing reports to council instead of doing. What we're hoping that they are there for. But I would like to stress this year worship very briefly that. It would be my expectation that since council has. Invested significant amounts of money in funding all three of these organizations that we absolutely need them to be accountable, and we need to feel that we are getting our money's worth from them. So I don't want to hear in these semiannual reports. Well, we're starting to gather data or we're searching for partner. Partners or we're wanting to work collaboratively. No, I want to hear what have you. Done? What have you achieved? And that's my expectation from these reports. Give us your successes, tell us what you're. Working on so we can judge how effective these organizations are for us.
minute highlights. Councilor Armstrong. I just wanted to add that we don't need to hear their history. We spend five minutes about why they were formed and this and that. We all know that. I agree with what councilor Thorpe said. What are your results? We already know that information and. That just takes up so much time. Thanks. Motions
Maybe to staff, but is there. Opportunity. To not have them all on the same night. And break it up. It seems like we don't have many presentations. And then it's. Like all three on the same night, and all of a sudden it's 09:00. But maybe look at options. Of just sort of limiting the impact. And maybe it's not that or just providing the time limit. Like, you can submit a written report with the highlights and maybe give us a five. Minute highlight on it. Thank you.
