Hidden factors played a crucial role in the selection of GHAC for the RFP contract
In the coming September meetings, the Burlington Council is expected to deliberate on a motion for auditing the RFP awarding to the GHAC Golden Horseseshoe Aquatic Club. The decision follows questions about the process and concerns regarding policy improvements, better training compliance, and data analytics.
The auditor is prepared to conduct the audit, should the Council decide to proceed, but the sticking point is finding funds for the audit. The city auditor's workload is already full, and securing additional resources may pose a challenge.
The RFP awarding to GHAC was made with a requirement that 80% of the swimmers live in Burlington. However, it is unclear when the city will ask for numbers from the clubs to verify this condition.
The process for initiating the audit involves a Motion tabled by a Council member, which needs to be seconded and debated, and requires four council members to pass. The politically based fight for the audit is expected to be tight.
The members of the Audit Committee, which reports to Council, are Councillor Kearns, Councillor Sharman, Mathew Moore, Etienne Durafour, Michael Di Iulio, Kartik Gupta, Mayor Marianne Meed Ward (an ex-officio voting member), and Mayor Meed Ward. The Audit Committee's report on the RFP awarding process has three low-risk findings.
It is important to note that the Audit Committee's report is not signed off on by anyone in the Administration. This means that the report's findings and recommendations are independent of any administrative influence.
Meanwhile, the swimming clubs in Burlington are still registering new swimmers for programs that will start in September. The registration data is collected by Swim Ontario.
Recently, a report on procurement practices was released by the Audit Committee on September 11, 2024. However, Mayor Meed Ward does not want all the facts made public, which has raised concerns among some council members.
In conclusion, the upcoming decision on the audit of the RFP awarding to GHAC is a significant matter for the Burlington Council. The public will be eagerly awaiting the Council's decision and the outcome of the audit, which could lead to policy improvements and better training compliance within the city's aquatic clubs.
