12 Page 12 "Whereas the City of Coquitlam has a strategic goal of expanding local jobs, local prosperity. And whereas under that goal the long term actions identify having policies and incentives that encourage commercial development, revitalization and optimize use of industrial/commercial land. And whereas the City of Coquitlam Procurement Policy does not currently include the encouragement of local procurement that could support commercial development, revitalization and optimization of industrial/commercial land. And whereas the measures of success for expanding local jobs, local prosperity include increasing the percentage of residents working or going to school in Coquitlam, And whereas an amended Procurement Policy has more potential than the current policy to increase the percentage of residents working or going to school in Coquitlam, Therefore be it resolved that the City of Coquitlam direct staff to enhance the procurement policy to include the encouragement of using local suppliers and services while still maintaining a procurement system that is responsive, cost effective and open to public scrutiny."
