(January 20, 2010) Report from General Manager, Shelter, Support and Housing Administration |
Summary |
This report seeks Council authority for the General Manager, Shelter, Support and Housing Administration, to submit projects to the Province for Year Two funding in the amount of $121,433,789 under the Social Housing Renovation and Retrofit Program (SHRRP). In both years of the program, requests for funding outstripped the availability of funds. In Year One, the dollar values of submissions by TCHC and other non-profit housing providers guided the proportion of total funding that was distributed to TCHC and other providers. Submissions were assessed against SHRRP eligibility criteria and priorities to determine lists of projects to be recommended for funding within these envelopes. A similar allocation model has been used to guide the recommended distribution of Year Two funding. The recommendations also take into account the opportunity to direct some SHRRP funding to strategic investments that will have a positive impact on the City of Toronto’s social housing subsidy expenditures in future years.
SHRRP provides $220 million in federal and provincial funding over two years for repairs and energy retrofits to existing social housing units in Toronto. There is no requirement for the City to cost share in this funding program, which helps to advance the strategies to preserve and repair rental housing under Council’s 10 year affordable housing action plan, Housing Opportunities Toronto. |

Origin |
(February 1, 2010) Report from Fire Chief and General Manager, Toronto Fire Services, and the Director, Purchasing and Materials Management |
Summary |
The purpose of this report is to request Council approval for Toronto Fire Services (TFS) to enter into an agreement with the State of Qatar to provide enhanced firefighter training to 10 selected staff of the Directorate General of Civil Defence, Ministry of the Interior. The training program would take place over 3 years (2010-2012) and involve 43 training components, each of which will be provided directly by TFS or Maddess Consulting, an agency affiliated with Qatar.
If approved, TFS will enter into agreements with Qatar and Maddess Consulting. Maddess Consulting has a direct working relationship with the Qataris providing expertise in a training regimen required by the Qataris and this agreement will provide an opportunity for TFS to foster a relationship with Qatar.
If this training program is a success, it may lead to further training of 300 firefighter recruits and additional revenues for the City.
The overall program, should this proposal be acceptable to the State of Qatar, will generate $1,822,755.00 in gross revenues with net revenues to the City of $402,816.00. Under the agreement, payment to the City will be received from Qatar prior to any obligations of the City to commence training components.

Ice Allocation Practices in City Arenas Operated by Arena Boards of Management |
Committee Recommendations |
The Community Development and Recreation Committee recommends that:
1. City Council direct that prior to implementation of the 2010/2011 ice allocations, all Arena Boards of Management must receive approval by the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation; such approval to be given when, subject to sufficient applications, the allocation conforms with the priorities for ice allocation outlined in the Ice Allocation Policy, attached as Appendix A to the report (January 22, 2010) from the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation.
2. City Council direct that applications for all ice at both City-operated and Arena Boards of Management operated arenas for the 2011/2012 season, and from this time forward, be submitted to the City and that:
a. Ice allocation requests for Arena Board of Management ice shall be forwarded directly to the Arena Boards of Management by Parks, Forestry and Recreation immediately after the submission deadline has passed in each year;
b. The Arena Boards of Management shall provide Parks, Forestry and Recreation staff with their recommended allocations of ice no later than February 15 of the year in question; and that such proposed allocation shall conform to City equity policies;
c. If, in the opinion of City staff, the proposed allocations fail to conform to City equity policies, City staff shall provide the Arena Boards of Management with a letter so indicating, with reasons and particulars, no later than the following February 28;
d. If City staff and the Arena Boards of Management reach agreement as to the allocation of ice by March 15, the ice shall be allocated accordingly; and
e. If for reasons related to the City’s equity policy City staff and the Arena Boards of Management cannot reach agreement by March 15 as to the appropriate allocation of ice, the ice shall be allocated by City staff.
3. City Council direct the General Manager of Parks, Forestry and Recreation to consult with the Arena Boards of Management, and user groups, existing, new and emerging, with respect to a centralized application process and report back in May 2010 on the implementation plan for a City-wide application process.
4. City Council direct that the Arena Boards of Management receive the approval of the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation prior, to implementing any new Board-operated programs, including house leagues or learn to play programs, for the 2010/2011 season, and thereafter, prior to being initiated.
5. City Council direct that staff continue negotiations and develop a business plan with the Leaside Board of Management on the ‘twinning’ of the existing ice pad which includes financial impact and community benefits of the project; and if suitable terms can be reached, staff will report on the business requirements and necessary approvals for the 2011 Capital Budget.
6. City Council request that the addition of a second ice surface at Leaside Gardens and the replacement of the Don Mills Civitan arena with a new two-rink facility be regarded as priority projects for Council consideration in the 2011 Capital Budget within the Parks, Forestry and Recreation Division. |
Decision Advice and Other Information |
The General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation, gave a presentation to the Community Development and Recreation Committee entitled "Ice Allocation Practices: Review of Ice Allocation Practices in City Arenas Operated by Arena Boards of Management", and filed a copy of her presentation. |
Origin |
(January 22, 2010) Report from General Manager Parks, Forestry and Recreation |
Summary |
This report reviews the ice allocation practices of Arena Boards of Management (also referred to as “Boards” or “Arena Boards”) and makes recommendations to ensure that ice allocation policies and practices of the Boards are consistent with those used to administrate all other City of Toronto operated arenas.
Concern about equitable allocations of available ice at City-owned arenas operated by Arena Boards of Management has resulted in a comprehensive review of the process. This report outlines the current allocation practices, reviews the practices against the City’s Ice Allocation Policy, and recommends that future applications for ice allocation for all City-owned arenas be managed by the City in a single, centralized application process to ensure that ice is allocated equitably and transparently.
The process for allocation of ice must ensure that new and emerging groups that require ice time receive their fair portion based on participant numbers. Groups requesting ice time at any City-owned facility, including those operated by a Board of Management, should have a reasonable expectation that they will be accommodated in a fair manner. The City’s Ice Allocation Policy provides a framework for allocation of ice that is based on a priority ranking system. Development of a single application/allocation process for all City-owned arenas, including the eight Board-managed facilities, is the only option to successfully implement this policy in the eight Board-managed arenas. With implementation of a centralized system, there will be no loss of ice time for community use. The change to a centralized system will result, however, in increased capacity to accommodate new and emerging groups by effectively utilizing all of the City’s ice surfaces – both Board-operated and City-operated. |
