(June 2, 2010) Report from the Treasurer |
Summary |
This report deals with tax appeal applications made to the Treasurer pursuant to sections 323 and 325 of the City of Toronto Act, 2006 (COTA). Section 323 permits Council to cancel, reduce or refund taxes in cases when, during the year, a property undergoes changes such as when it is destroyed by fire or demolished, becomes exempt from taxation, or is reclassified due to a change in its use. Under section 325 of the COTA, taxpayers can request a cancellation, reduction or refund of taxes when an error in the assessment roll is identified which results in an overcharge.
The legislation requires Council to hold a public meeting where applicants may make a submission in defence of their position. Council has delegated authority to hold such public meetings to the Government Management Committee.
Staff have mailed Notices of Hearing to affected taxpayers advising of the upcoming hearing before Government Management Committee. |

(June 9, 2010) Report from the Chief Corporate Officer and the General Manager, Parks Forestry and Recreation |
Summary |
The Toronto District School Board (TDSB), at its meeting held June 24 and 25, 2009 adopted a resolution pursuant to Section 194(3) of the Education Act to declare approximately 4.0 acres (1.6 ha) of land as not required for the purposes of the Board. Pursuant to Ontario Regulation 444/98, Toronto Lands Corporation (TLC), the real estate arm of the TDSB, circulated these properties under a Proposal for Sale.
The City owns two properties abutting the subject lands. Located to the south is Fairfield Park and to the east is the Fairfield Seniors’ Centre (former Fairfield Avenue Public School) operated by Parks, Forestry and Recreation. The surplus TDSB lands are comprised of parking lots lands that make up approximately 1.0 acre (0.4 ha) of the subject property and are currently used by and required for the Fairfield Seniors’ Centre. The remaining 3.0 acres (1.2 ha) constitute what was the former school yard.
Negotiations with the TLC have been ongoing since October of 2009. The City and TLC have agreed to the Terms and Conditions as shown on Appendices “A-1” and “A-2” to this report and describe the salient terms of this proposed acquisition which are considered fair and reasonable.
Real Estate Services seeks authority for the City to acquire the parking lot lands on the property municipally known as 80 Lothian Avenue. |

Use of Car Share Vehicles |
Committee Recommendations |
The Government Management Committee recommends that:
1. City Council request the Director of Fleet Services to implement a pilot project with respect to the use of Car Share Vehicles, and report back to the Government Management Committee after a one year period. |
Decision Advice and Other Information |
The Government Management Committee requested the Chief Corporate Officer to submit a further report to the Government Management Committee, analysing the number of cars used by the City and the utilization of these cars, such report to include a cost benefit analysis. |
Origin |
(May 5, 2010) Report from the Chief Corporate Officer |
Summary |
This report provides the results of a preliminary review to determine if the City can benefit from the use of car share vehicles to supplement the City’s fleet. It also assesses the potential benefit of introducing additional technology to manage City vehicles. This report was requested by Government Management Committee at its meeting March 11, 2010.
Two companies in Toronto offer short-term rental to their members of vehicles parked throughout the City. A preliminary review indicates that the use of privately-owned car share vehicles could potentially benefit the City of Toronto by providing additional access to vehicles for occasional use. Fleet Services will propose the use of car-share vehicles to its client Divisions. If there is demand among the Divisions, Fleet Services will issue a competitive purchasing call and report on usage in the next Green Fleet Plan update. |

(May 17, 2010) Report from the City Clerk |
Summary |
This report requests City Council’s approval for amendments to the City's record retention by-law, Municipal Code Chapter 217, Records, Corporate (City). These amendments add new schedules and repeal superseded retention schedules. The inclusion in the by-law of new record retention schedules that supersede those of the former municipalities enables consistent administration of the City’s information. The City of Toronto Act 2006 does not allow for the destruction of City records unless their authorized retention period has expired. Records that have enduring legal, administrative, and historical value need to be preserved. The secure and authorized destruction of City records helps protect the privacy of citizens whose personal information resides in these records. Administrative costs for storing City records continue to be managed within the existing budgetary constraints while supporting effective access to relevant and current information by City administrators and citizens. |
