Recommendation:
Recommendation: That the Report from the Human Resources Department providing Council with an update of the expenses flowed through the Educational Assistance Reserve Account for 2019 BE RECEIVED for information.
Executive Summary:
N/A
Background:
Under Council Resolution 331/2007, City Administration was authorized to set up an Educational Assistance Reserve Account, thereby reallocating existing budget amounts from each departmental account for Education Allowances (i.e., account #8220) into one consolidated operating budget line item to be administered by the Human Resources Department. This includes all corporate departments, but not boards and agencies such as Police Services and Roseland Golf & Curling Club. Eligible educational allowance reimbursement expenses are charged to the Human Resources Operating Budget with any annual surplus or deficits flowing through the reserve account and subject to reports to City Council detailing transfers flowing through the account. It should be noted that for the purposes of this report, Transit Windsor and the Windsor Public Library (WPL) are included as these entities became part of our Corporate Training Program in late 2014 (WPL) and 2015 (Transit). Hence, the purpose of this communication is to provide Council a report summarizing the expenses within the Educational Assistance Reserve Account for 2019.
