SECTION B - LIAISON COMMITTEE

The ISA calls for the setting up of an administrative advisory panel, being the Windsor/Essex Court Service Area Liaison Committee (“Liaison Committee”), composed of one representative from each participating municipality. Among other things, the 10-person Liaison Committee:

• Serves as the liaison between the City and the 9 Serviced Municipalities on all matters relating to the operation of the POA Program

• Reviews all reports submitted by the City Solicitor in conjunction with the Manager of Provincial Offences and makes recommendations to the operations of the POA Program

• Reviews and recommends for approval the annual budgets

• Generates an annual report for review by the respective councils of the participants

By virtue of the ISA, each party municipality provides a member of its administration as its Liaison Committee representative, with the Windsor representative currently being the City Solicitor. The latter is also the Chair.

For 2019, the final composition of the POA Liaison Committee was as follows:

MUNICIPALITY	MEMBER	POSITION
