C
C
C
C
C
A
D
If
I
may
make
the
motion
and
offer
some
explanation
with
the
respect
to
the
chair,
the
chair
is
correct
and
we're
trying
not
to
add
new
business.
In
this
case.
My
proposal
is
to
ask
the
city
manager
to
report
to
the
next
council
meeting
on
the
feasibility
of
installing
the
kovid
19
alert
app
on
city
devices
worked
extensively
with
staff
to
get
it
to
this
point,
and
the
timing
is
the
timing.
D
D
C
C
A
D
I
won't
read
the
preamble,
but
the
motion
is
short:
direct.
The
the
general
government
licensing
committee
direct,
the
city
manager
in
consultation
with
the
chief
medical
officer
of
health
to
report
directly
to
the
september
30th
2020
city
council,
meeting
on
the
feasibility
of
installing
the
covet
alert
app
on
all
city
of
toronto,
managed
mobile
devices
and
the
necessary
steps
to
maximize
the
benefit
of
the
software.
That's
all
it
is
is
a
report.
C
C
C
C
A
C
C
C
C
C
C
C
C
C
C
C
A
C
A
C
C
E
So
we
me,
and
the
previous
executive
director
of
ogeri
have
presented
the
background
on
tra
previously
to
the
council
back
in
in
may,
I
believe
so.
The
the
service,
the
road
authority
service,
is
basically
it's
a
member
services
that
was
started
by
ogering
back
in
1998,
and
it
was
aimed
to
to
provide
municipalities
with
means
to
organize
their
products
approved
products
list
it
was
made.
E
It
was
mainly
established
as
partnership
with
mto,
as
they
seated
it
with
the
designated
source
of
material
products,
and
it
revolved
beyond
that
to
include
municipal
approved
products
list
and
we
managed
to
score
municipal
partnership.
We
have
on
board
the
region
of
durham
halton
region,
city
of
hamilton
and
we're
looking
to
have
ontario
on
board
too,
so
that
the
service
has
three
main
features.
E
If
I
can
summarize
it,
the
main
one
is
the
product
library
it's.
This
is
available
online
as
a
open
source.
Anyone
can
can
go
in
and
look
at
all
the
products
and
their
designation
and
the
information
provided
with
the
products,
the
supply
chain
manufacturer
and
all
the
information
and
the
the
other
features
are
the
product
management
committee
app,
which
is
linked
to
the
links
to
the
product
library.
So
the
the
member
municipalities
that
we
have
on
board
they.
E
E
E
One
last
thing
I
wanted
to
mention
before
I
take
questions
that
this
service
is
available
for
free
for
municipalities.
The
the
business
model
is
that
we,
we
gather
a
fee
from
the
suppliers,
the
the
the
part
of
the
the
stakeholder
that
actually
makes
money
in
this
process,
and
we
make
it
available
as
a
complimentary
service
for
our
member
municipalities
at
ogra
as
they
they
are,
the
ones
that
are
paying
the
money
for
these
services.
E
The
tra
service
has
a
a
product.
Management
has
its
own
product
management
committee,
which
consists
of
municipal,
provincial
contractor
and
consultants,
representatives
that
are
volunteers
to
pre-vet
products,
and
they,
if
a
products
meet
their
spec
approved
specification,
then
they
granted
an
accepted
for
use
that
you
can
see
on
the
approved
products
on
the
on
the
product
library.
So
that
said,
this
service,
the
the
the
pre-vetting,
does
not
require
any
member
municipalities
to
to
use
to
apply
this
accepted
for
use
to
their
own
standards.
E
F
C
D
D
If
either
you
have
or
have
plans
to
go
beyond
just
the
product
specification
and
go
into
something
a
bit
deeper
like
either
some
notion
of
historical
pricing
for
the
product,
so
I
don't
mean
that
the
vendors
would
put
out
a
price,
but
you
could
see
where
different
municipalities
what
they
paid
and
the
other
dimension,
would
be
examples
of
products
used
in
other
municipalities
kind
of
like
a
reference.
So
if
you
want
to
see
you
know
x
component,
it's
located
at
geographic
position
y
and
you
want
to
go
and
look
at
it.
It's
there.
E
Thank
you
for
your
question
counselor.
As
for
the
pricing,
we
we
haven't
done
that
yet
as
it's
it's
it's
a
very
sensitive
topic
to
navigate
to
to,
so
that
you
don't
step
on
anyone's
toes,
but
it
would
definitely
be
something
of
use.
We
received
certain
questions
from
different
municipalities
on,
regarding
that
they
they're
looking
to
to
find
pricing
for
for
different
services,
to
compare,
if
they're,
getting
a
fair
offer
or
or
not.
E
As
for
your
second
part
of
the
question
on
looking
at
what
other
municipalities
have
on
their
approved
products
list
or
what
what
products
that
they're
using
this
is
actually
part
of
the
value
in
this
product,
the
more
municipalities
we
have
on
board
the
more
consistency
in
in
the
approved
products
list.
So
all
of
the
municipalities.
If
you
go
to
the
tra
website,
the
road
authority,
you
can
see
our
member
municipalities
and
when
you
click
on
them,
you
can
see
their
approved
products
list
and
the
service
does
keep
historical
data.
E
E
D
No
thank
you
for,
for
speaking
to
us.
I
appreciate
it
and
I
would
only
say
is:
maybe
the
question
is:
are
you
giving
some
thought
to
some
of
the
the
roundabout
suggestions
I
had
in
my
question
for
the
future?
Maybe
knowing
that
pricing
in
the
public
sector,
you
know,
can
be
matters
of
public
record
they're,
just
kind
of
distributed
out
there
so
having
them
in
one
place
could
be,
could
be
helpful
for
municipalities
and
the
other
side
would
just
be
literally.
D
E
C
Seeing
none
I
had
a
few,
could
you
comment?
I'm
sure
you've
read
the
staff
report.
There
was
a
comment
about
by
our
staff
about
concerns
over
the
quality
of
the
product
that
it
says.
There's
no
assurance
of
products
are
more
preferable
of
a
higher
quality
of
safety
standards
or
products
from
other
vendors
that
don't
apply
on
the
list.
Can
you
comment
a
bit
about
quality
assurance
of
what's
on
your
list,
so.
E
C
E
Yes,
exactly
and
if
you
ever
went
on
the
on
the
platform,
you
will
see
next
to
each
product,
some
badges,
that
that
to
clarify,
if,
if
it's
on
the
designated
source
of
material
of
mto
or
if
it's
on
the
approved
product
list
for
a
certain
municipality,
halton
region,
for
example,
you
would
see
which
municipalities
approved
this
product.
So
this
might
help
your
your
decision
making.
E
C
E
C
D
C
Seeing
none
so
we
do
have
a
motion
before
us
that
we
receive
this
item
for
information.
All
in
favor
of
the
motion
carried
thank
you,
and
now
we
will
go
back
to
sorry.
We.
Our
last
item
is
item
number
five
procurement
of
emergency
goods
and
services
in
response
to
the
covid19
pandemic,
which
was
held
by
councillor
phillian
councillor
philly.
Do
you
have
questions
to
stop
on
this
item?.
B
F
There's
been
a
lot
of
work
done
by
the
federal
and
provincial
government
to
encourage
local
manufacturers
and
the
logistics
of
getting
products
over
from
china
has
changed,
making
it
easier.
So
I'd
say
for
the
most
part,
many
products
are
are
good,
have
a
good
supply
now,
but
there
are
a
few
that
are
still
difficult.
F
F
Through
the
chair,
we
have
been
working
under
the
direction
of
the
strategic
command
table
to
achieve
a
six
to
eight
month
inventory
supply
for
all
our
products.
We
are
in
a
good
position
for
most
of
them.
We
are
actually
completing
an
rfp
for
more
contracts
for
ppe
right
now
and
we
are
continuing
to
work
on
the
situation
to
ensure
that
if
the
second
wave
hits
we
will
be
prepared
to
address
it.
C
D
Thank
you
through
you
to
the
staff.
I
wondered
if
somebody
could
talk
to
me
just
a
little
bit
around
the
rules
and
the
policies,
as
opposed
to
the
specific
procurements
could.
Could
someone
just
help
me
understand
better
how
one
takes
a
decision
to
make
an
emergency
purchase
and
who
the
approving
authorities
are
and
what?
D
F
It
is
a
non-competitive,
but
under
the
rationale
of
emergency,
the
definition
of
emergency
is
set
up
in
the
in
the
chapter,
which
requires
a
situation
of
extreme
urgency
brought
upon
by
unsociable
events
that
makes
the
department
of
goods
and
services
necessary
to
address
things
like
an
immediate
risk
to
help
the
decision
to
do
one
that
is
over
five
hundred
thousand
dollars,
because
normally
non-competitive
over
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
would
come
to
committee
for
approval
first
is
is
with
the
respective
division
head.
That
has
noticed
the
emergency.
B
F
Of
course,
the
emergency
declaration
by
the
mayor,
when
we
with
respect
to
ppe
and
things
getting
ready
the
respective
division
heads,
would
make
decisions
and
indicate
to
me
that
this
emergency
in
relation
to
covid
and
we
would
process
the
the
work
ppe
usually
was
through
through
me.
But
I
would
often
consult
with
the
emergency
operations
center
and
with
others,
as
required,
in
particular
with
some
of
the
large
sales
purchases
that
we
did.
D
So
so
ppe
is
a
great
example
that
you
know
it's
that's
crystal
clear.
We,
you
know
we
didn't
need
masks
prior
to
covid
19
and
the
quantity
that
we
need
them
now
and
that's
because
of
an
airborne
virus,
but
take
for
instance,
the
last
example
at
the
end
of
the
chart
on
page.
Forgive
me
here:
16
transportation
services.
D
And
you
know
just
if
you
just
tell
me
about
the
decision
makers
and
the
policies
that
they
look
at,
I'm
not
here
to
dig
into
the
actual
decision
on
this
line
item.
It's
the
report
there.
It
is,
but
I'm
just.
I
just
want
to
understand
the
process
better,
because
some
items
are
clear
and
obvious,
and
some
aren't
as
clear
to
me
as
to
why
they're
included
in
the
emergency
procurement.
F
Sure
so
the
division
has
and
the
respective
staff
would
make
the
decision
based
on
the
information
that
they
have
available.
In
the
case
of
kova,
we
were
considering
both
the
response
and
then
the
recovery
to
to
get
the
city
back
on.
You
know
back
on
speed
as
fast
as
possible,
so
the
division
would
first
review
a
a
business
case
and
then
it
would
be
sent
over
to
me
for
for
for
review
as
well.
D
D
Can
you
assure
me
that
there
are
checks
and
balances
in
the
city's
management
hierarchy
and
our
policies
to
ensure
that
things
that
ought
to
not
be
considered
emergencies?
Aren't
our
emergency
procurements
aren't
designated
as
such
for
reasons
of
convenience
and
I'll
leave
it
at
that,
but
if
you
can,
if
there's
any
comment,
you've
got
on
those
processes,
I
would
appreciate
it.
Thank
you.
F
F
F
B
Thank
you
mike,
certainly
through
the
chair
counselor.
I
would.
I
would
echo
comments
that
mike
has
has
put
forward
that.
Obviously,
one
of
the
questions
that
now
exists
with
respect
to
anything
that
is
being
brought
forward
from
an
emergency
perspective
is
to
try
to
understand
the
the
timing
of
the
requirement
and
whether
or
not
in
fact
can
go
through
the
normal
procurement
processes.
C
A
C
All
right,
all
in
favor
of
the
motion
and
that
carries,
and
just
before
we
adjourn
I
just
like
to
welcome
matthew
as
our
new
city
clerk
representative
matthew
and
your
team,
thanks
for
taking
care
of
us
this
morning
and
to
clerks,
I
t
and
to
everybody
for
part
and
staff
and
everyone
for
participating
in
the
meeting
this
morning,
and
I
hope
everybody
remains
safe
and
well,
and
at
this
point
I'm
going
to
move
a
motion
to
adjourn
all
in
favor
carried.
Thank
you
very
much.
Everybody
have
a
great
day.
