qathet Regional District (qRD) directors will consider creating documentation that highlights responsibilities for committees and directors.
At the November 24 regional board meeting, Electoral Area C director and board chair Clay Brander put forward two notices of motion, which indicate he will be presenting the motions at a future committee of the whole meeting.
In his first notice of motion, Brander suggested that committee of the whole direct staff to draft terms of reference for each of the standing committees: planning, committee of the whole and finance, and bring them back to a future committee of the whole meeting for consideration.
Brander’s second notice of motion was that committee of the whole direct staff to draft job description for electoral directors, qRD’s board chair and municipal directors, and bring them back to a future meeting for consideration.
Brander said it had come to his attention that the regional district does not have terms of reference for the three standing committees.
“It’s a good thing to have, just so we know where we stand with them,” said Brander. “I also saw job descriptions from a different regional district for electoral directors and municipal directors. I found it really valuable to define what everyone around the table is supposed to be doing. It will also be a valuable asset for people who may want to run for these positions in the future.”
