Summary

The Referrals Committee agreed to send a request to engage a consultant for a competitiveness review to Administration and Public Works for discussion, after debating whether staff work might be more appropriate.

Committee members debated whether a competitiveness review should engage an outside consultant or be handled by staff. One member said, "This 1 might be more appropriately directed to staff," (SEG 078) while the Chair said if the committee decides a consultant is worth engaging, that would be the committee's decision. The committee voted to send the request to Administration and Public Works for discussion.

The committee left the specific choice of consultant or staff involvement to the receiving committee. Administration and Public Works is expected to discuss the scope and determine whether to proceed with a consultant engagement.
