Item - 2025.CA26.1

The Chief People Officer recommends that:

1. City Council appoint the individuals listed in Confidential Attachment 1 to the Two- Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (2SLGBTQ+) Advisory Committee, at pleasure of Council, for a term of office ending on November 14, 2026 or until their mandate is completed, whichever comes first.

2. City Council direct that the balance of Confidential Attachment 1 and Confidential Attachments 2-3 to the report (May 28, 2025) from the Chief People Officer remain confidential in their entirety as they relate to personal matters about identifiable individuals being considered for appointment to the Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (2SLGBTQ+) Advisory Committee.

This report recommends the appointment of two individuals to the Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (2SLGBTQ+) Advisory Committee.

The Terms of Reference for the Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (2SLGBTQ+) Advisory Committee adopted by City Council on February 7 and 8, 2023 provide for an honorarium of $125 per public member per meeting attended. Based on the anticipated frequency of meetings (4 meetings per year) and the maximum number of public members (13 public members) per the Terms of Reference, the financial impact to the City to provide honoraria for the public members of the Two- Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (2SLGBTQ+) Advisory Committee for the 2022-2026 term is estimated to be $6,500 per year. These honoraria costs are included in 2025 Operating Budget for People and Equity and will be included in the annual Operating Budget submissions for People and Equity for the years 2025 through 2026.

There are no financial implications resulting from the adoption of the recommendations in this report beyond what has already been included for honoraria costs in the 2025 Operating Budget for People and Equity because the appointment of these two public members are replacement appointments and the composition of public members in this Advisory Committee will remain within the stipulated number of public members per the Advisory Committee's Terms of Reference.

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the information as presented in the Financial Impact Section.
