T. Glover introduced the final draft of the report card for review and talked to the Compass Kitchener group about the next steps. T. Glover explained that CLT will visit the next Compass Kitchener meeting on July 2 to provide their feedback on the report card.
Compass members agreed to prepare a list of questions to ask CLT to help further clarify things that have come up during the review process. C. Abarca offered to record the list.
Compass Kitchener reviewed each area of the report: Project Status Overview; Evaluation Approach; Evaluation Rating; 2024 Project Evaluations; Fostering a Caring City Together; Overall Observations and Looking Ahead; and In Closing discussing things like making small language changes, thanking staff for their participation in the process and a suggestion that Compass Kitchener should urge the city to prioritize the Arts and Culture Master plan given the enormous challenges faced by the arts sector in Kitchener and the critically important role it plays.
J. Young moved a motion to draft a sentence to include in the report that names three areas the City should be focused on: housing, social isolation, and climate change.
Motion carried unanimously.
J. Stephens-Wells moved a motion that a sentence be drafted addressing the challenges of identifying and tracking outcome Indicators.
Motion carried unanimously.
