he Ottawa Transition Board has named almost 50 transition projects and the project leaders who will help create the new City of Ottawa, Jan 1, 2000.
The projects will amalgamate and restructure the 12 existing municipal administrations into the new City of Ottawa. Project teams will gather information on existing municipal services, receive public input, analyze data and make recommendations to the Board on how they should be delivered in the new City.
Employees seconded from the 12 Ottawa-Carleton municipalities will develop plans to restructure and redesign municipal functions with the help from members of the public and outside experts. The duration of each project will depend on size and scope of municipal function.Implementation plans are expected to be in place by January 1, 2001.
