Kingston Police Service Board Diversity Appointment

Moved by: Councillor Ridge

Seconded by: Mayor Paterson

• Whereas membership requirements of the Kingston Police Service Board (the Board) are set out in the Community Safety & Policing Act, Section 31; and

  Whereas the current Board membership is entirely male; and

  Whereas the board shall consist of the head of the municipal council or, if the head chooses not to be or is ineligible to be a member of the board, another member of the municipal council appointed by resolution of the municipality; and

  Whereas Mayor Paterson chooses not to be a member of the board effective immediately; and

  Whereas the next meeting of the Kingston Police Service Board is scheduled for February 26, 2026, before which time new members must complete legislatively mandated orientation and training; 

  Therefore Be It Resolved That Councillor ______________ be appointed to the Kingston Police Service Board, in place of the head of the municipal council, for a term ending on November 14, 2026.
