9.a.1

Cost-Benefit Review for Contract Decisions Policy - Councillor Solyom

RECOMMENDATION:

WHEREAS City Council is responsible for ensuring prudent, transparent, and evidence-based decision-making in the expenditure of public funds;

AND WHEREAS Council must be able to evaluate the relative costs, benefits, and service impacts of proposed contractual changes compared to existing arrangements;

AND WHEREAS the absence of a clearly identified “status quo” or continuation option limits Council’s ability to assess whether proposed changes represent best value;

AND WHEREAS providing comparable cost estimates for both existing and proposed service models enhances accountability and supports informed decision-making;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that staff be directed to include, as part of all future service contract renewal processes, a clearly defined “status quo” option that outlines the estimated costs and service levels of continuing existing arrangements for a comparable term;

AND FURTHER THAT such analysis be presented alongside any proposed changes to ensure Council has a complete basis for evaluating alternatives prior to making a decision.
