The Striking Committee submits the following report (December 29, 1997) from the City Clerk:
Purpose:
The purpose of this report is to provide Members of Council with a list of Members' preferences for appointments to Standing Committees, other Committees and Special Purpose Bodies. The Standing Committee structures outlined in the appended Schedules are based on the governance structure proposed by the Transition Team, and are subject to approval by City Council at its first meeting.
Recommendations:
It is recommended, subject to the approval by City Council of the governance structure proposed by the Transition Team, that the Striking Committee recommend to Council:
(1) the appointment of Members of Council to those Standing Committees, other Committees and Special Purpose Bodies outlined in Schedules 1 to 12, for a term of office expiring May 31, 1999, and until their successors are appointed, unless indicated otherwise, with the Mayor being an ex-officio voting Member of all Committees of City Council, including the Budget Committee, all Standing Committees and all Community Councils; and
(2) that leave be granted for the introduction of the necessary Bills in Council to give effect thereto.
Background:
Schedules 1 and 2 pertain to Appointments to Standing and other Committees. Schedules 3 to 12 pertain to appointments to Special Purpose Bodies, other Boards and External Organizations. The immediate requirements for these appointments are outlined in the Column, headed "Council Action Required", in Schedules 3 to 12.
For reference purposes, the shaded areas in the attached Schedules include relevant portions of the Transition Team recommendations pertaining to these Appointments, including the Council action required, the number of Members to be appointed and the Term of Office based on such recommendations.
The Striking Committee also submits the following communication (November 27, 1997) from the Metropolitan Clerk:
The Board of Directors of The Hummingbird Centre for the Performing Arts, at its public meeting held on November 26, 1997, discussed the matter of its Membership.
The Board recommended to the appropriate Committee of the new City Council, that those Members of the Board of Directors of The Hummingbird Centre for the Performing Arts currently representing The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto, who were not elected to the new City of Toronto, continue as Members of the Board of Directors as citizen representatives until such time as the Provincial Government has enacted the required legislation to allow for the implementation of the new governance structure as outlined in The Hummingbird Centre for the Performing Arts Business Plan which was approved by Metropolitan Council on April 24, 1996.
The Striking Committee also submits the following communication (January 5, 1998) addressed to Mayor Mel Lastman from Ms. C. L. Sugiyama, Director, The Hummingbird Centre for the Performing Arts:
Please accept our sincere congratulations and best wishes on your election as the first Mayor of the new City of Toronto Council. We look forward to working with you and the new Council.
I am writing to you on behalf of Mr. Edgar Ware and myself, two of the elected community representatives on the Board of Directors of The Hummingbird Centre for the Performing Arts (the "Centre"). Edgar is also the Chair of the Nominating Committee and I am also the Chair of the Governance Committee of the Centre’s Board.
We were elected to the Board by Metropolitan Council as part of the "privatization" plan for the Centre. Both of us agreed to serve on the understanding that the Business Plan (approved by Metropolitan Council in April 1996) would be fully implemented and that, thereupon, the Centre would become a separate and self-sustaining legal entity with charitable objects, and registration. Now that the new Council is in place, we hope that it will support and ratify the Business Plan and its implementation.
We have received copies of Councillor Anne Johnston’s letter to you of December 5, 1997, and wish to echo and support the approach suggested in her letter regarding the governance of the Centre. Councillor Johnston’s letter, however, does not address the critical issues of the Chair of the Centre’s Board.
For the reasons outlined in Councillor Johnston’s letter, continuity in the governance of the Centre is critical pending implementation of provincial legislation to effect the Business Plan. Councillor Johnston brings to the Board her many years of experience, both as a Board member and as Chair of the Centre. She has an excellent working relationship with Ms. Elizabeth Bradley, the General Manager and Chief Executive Officer of the Centre, and one of its chief assets. As "outside" directors of the Centre, Councillor Johnston has our unqualified support as the continuing Chair of the Centre and we hope that you and the new Council will permit her to continue as Chair of the Board at least until the implementation of the Business Plan has been completed.
We would be pleased to meet with you at your convenience to discuss these matters. In the meantime, should you or your staff have any questions regarding the foregoing, please do not hesitate to contact either the undersigned or Mr. Edgar Ware.
We look forward to seeing you at the Centre.
The Striking Committee also submits the following communication (November 28, 1997) addressed to the Economic Development Committee of the former City of Toronto from the Corporate Secretary, Toronto Business Development Centre:
At the Annual General Meeting of Members of the Toronto Business Development Centre, held on November 19, 1997, the Members retired the current Board of Directors, as required under their By-law No. 1. As also allowed under By-law No. 1, the Members re-elected eligible directors who had indicated their willingness to stand for a further term of office.
City Council, at its meeting on February 27 and 28, 1995, approved the following composition of the Board (amended on April 24, 1995, to reduce the business representation from four to three), and I list beside the categories the name of the appropriate director.

At the meeting of the Board on January 17, 1996, the directors nominated Ms. K. R. Irene Bailey to replace Ms. Tower. I am attaching a copy of Ms. Bailey’s Curriculum Vitae for your information and confirm that she does reside in the City of Toronto.
I will be grateful if you would seek your Committee’s confirmation of these appointments to the Board.
The Striking Committee also submits the following communication (December 18, 1997) from the President, Kingsway Business Management Board:
Please be advised that the General Membership of the Kingsway Business Improvement Area held an Election Meeting on November 19, 1997. Councillors Gloria Lindsay Luby and Blake F. Kinahan were appointed to our Management Board on that date.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
The Striking Committee also submits the following communication (December 9, 1997) addressed to Councillor John Adams, Midtown, from the Managing Director and Producer, The Canadian Stage Company:
I understand that City Council representatives to Charitable Boards will be appointed based on the interest shown by Councillors when asked which, if any, Boards they would like to sit on. As we are not able to request specific Councillors to sit on our Board I wanted to let you know that we would be proud to have you as our representative.
You may not know that The Canadian Stage Company is one of the most successful live theatres in the country, posting a surplus for the past six seasons while simultaneously increasing its subscriber base. I have enclosed some information on the company for your perusal.
If you are given the opportunity to request your appointment to a specific Board I hope you will choose Canadian Stage.
The Striking Committee also submits the following communication (December 19, 1997) from Councillor Ila Bossons, Midtown:
I received the list of all Members’ preferences for appointments to Agencies, Boards and Committees and neglected to add my name to the Board of Directors of Tourism Toronto.
Can you please add my name.
The Striking Committee also submits the following communication (December 22, 1997) from Councillor Gordon J. Chong, Don Parkway:
Please revise my first choice from the Urban Environment and Development Committee to the Community and Neighbourhood Services Chair and Committee.
Thanks for your attention to this matter.
The Striking Committee also submits the following communication (November 15, 1997) from Councillor David Miller, High Park:
I attach my response for submission to the Striking Committee.
Could you please include this note with my submission.
As you can see, I am very interested in being on the Toronto Transit Commission. I believe I have the necessary experience to be on the Commission as I was Chair of the Pro-Transit Sub-Committee, Chair of the Metro Council Advisory Committee to the Toronto Transit Commission Task Force on Accessible Transit, and a member of the Planning and Transportation Committee. In this time of instability, we need experienced people to be on the TTC.
In addition, I very much wish to remain on the Board of Governors of Exhibition Place and continue the ongoing work in revitalizing Exhibition Place.
(A copy of each of Schedules 1 to 12, referred to in the foregoing report dated December 29, 1997, from the City Clerk has been forwarded to all Members of Council with the agenda of the Striking Committee, and a copy thereof is also on file in the office of the Metropolitan Clerk.)
