What the City showed KPMG for their Core Service Report

22-Aug-2011 [543]

From: >>> celos information <mail@celos.ca> July 26, 2011 9:13 PM >>>

Dear Mr.Pennachetti

There are many puzzles in the KPMG report that need to be clarified. However, the full text of the report is not available for most of us to read. We understand that such consultants' reports are intended only for the City Manager and his designates.

That's not a serious problem, though. Potentially even more helpful for P F R users and P F R workers is the information that the City provided to KPMG. We would therefore like to ask you to publish the following on the city website:

1. The detailed inventory of service standards and service levels that was provided to KPMG for P F R.

2. All financial and budget data and all other available information related to P F R, which was provided to KPMG.

3. All P F R-related policy directions, reports, and Council decisions that were provided to KPMG.

Is any of this already posted? If so, could you direct us to the right links? If not, could you post all this information and notify us of the link?

If you feel that this information request needs to go through FOI, could you let us know?

Thank you

Jutta Mason
administrator,
the Centre for Local Research into Public Space (CELOS)

Thank you. You mention attachments (I've high-lighted that in red) but there were none on the e-mail I got. Could you try to resend?
