Summary#

Council approved the item on the consent agenda on September 22, 2026, with a 15–0 vote. It adopted the recommendation to receive the Corporate Supply Chain Resilience Strategy Audit report for the City’s corporate record. City staff say the audit’s goal is to support resilience in the City’s supply chain; the audit’s findings and corrective actions are not included in the available material.

• The decision records receipt of the audit report. It does not itself order a new program or set out specific corrective actions.
• The report says the City Auditor’s Office communicates the audit outcome, including Administration’s response and corrective actions. The detailed audit attachment is not provided here.

What it means for you#

• Calgarians: The decision does not directly change a service, fee, benefit or rule for residents.
• City staff: The report refers to corrective actions, but the available material does not show what they are or who must carry them out.
• Council: The report was received for the corporate record. It was approved on the consent agenda, without debate shown in the supplied minutes.

Money#

No cost information is in the available material.

• The report gives no cost estimate for the audit or its corrective actions.

What is unclear#

• What supply-chain risks or problems the audit found.
• What corrective actions City staff proposed, who is responsible for them, and when they are due.
• Whether those actions have costs or require changes to City purchasing or services.

Case for#

• City staff say a resilient supply chain can help the City limit the effects of rising costs and disruptions, supporting uninterrupted public services.
• The City Auditor’s report includes Administration’s response and corrective actions, which can document how the City plans to address audit findings.

Case against#

• The audit findings and proposed corrective actions are missing from the available material, so residents cannot assess what the audit found or whether the response is adequate.
• The decision records receipt of the report but sets no visible deadlines or follow-up requirements for the actions described.
