How canCouncilensureeffective

An often overlooked role of any council is to provide oversight. Yes, a council needs to lead; and yes, a council ought to make clear policy decisions; and yes, a council needs to approve budgets and business plans. But, oversight is critical. The key to effective oversight is not hovering around work sites or offices. The essence of oversight lies in effective questioning and regular reporting. A member of council plays a very important role by asking the right questions – at the right time ... and in the right forum. While setting direction through policies and plans is essential, ensuring that those directives are being discharged as desired by council only occurs if there is a feedback loop that enables council to observe the effectiveness of its decisions through implementation by the administration. Regular, comprehensive reporting by the CAO and his or her senior staff are core to this feedback loop.
