Toronto continues to experience unprecedented growth and development at the same time that the City focuses on building affordable housing and expanding our transit networks across the City. To support this activity, there is a need to deliver the necessary infrastructure upgrades and invest in aging infrastructure. The construction coordination process that is currently in place has been challenged to keep pace with this rapid growth and complexity of infrastructure work. The present five-year capital coordination process does not typically consider longer-term capital projects (5 to 10 years) that are forecasted to support areas of intense growth. Similarly, current capital construction coordination processes have difficulty adjusting to and accommodating emergency requests to conduct last-minute works. It is important that all capital construction projects are properly coordinated, sequenced and bundled, taking into consideration criteria that include safety and traffic congestion in order to minimize impacts to communities. These challenges have created an opportunity to enhance and strengthen the coordination of the City's capital infrastructure program while, at the same tim…

Majority required - IE16.2 - Pasternak - motion 1
On October 15, 2024, the Audit Committee will receive a report from the City of Toronto’s Auditor General entitled: Reinforcing the Importance of Openness, Fairness and Transparency in City Procurement: An Audit of the Procurement and Implementation of the PayIt Unsolicited Proposal. The objective of the audit was to review the procurement of the City’s MyToronto Pay platform (delivered by the City’s contracted vendor, PayIt LLC) and outcomes achieved to date, to identify lessons learned, and opportunities to clarify and/or improve the City’s Unsolicited Quotations for Proposals Policy and Process for Receiving and Reviewing Unsolicited Quotations and Proposals. The audit report includes nine recommendations aimed at strengthening the oversight, and policy and process for receiving, reviewing, and responding to unsolicited proposals. The audit report also reinforces the importance of management’s leadership and commitment to ensuring openness, fairness, and transparency in City procurement. In light of these recommendations, this motion seeks to ensure no additional City services or payment types are added to the MyToronto Pay platform during the rema…

Majority required - MM22.34 - Adopt the item
The applicant applied to the Committee of Adjustment (Application No. A0177/24SC) (the "Application") to demolish the existing building and construct a new two-storey detached dwelling. More specifically, the Application requests one variance to the maximum permitted floor space area. City Planning and Urban Forestry provided a report to the Committee of Adjustment dated recommending the imposition of the conditions in the event the Committee of Adjustment approved the Application. At its hearing on September 18th, 2024, the Committee of Adjustment refused the Application (the "Decision"). The Notice of Decision is attached as Attachment 1. The applicant has appealed the Decision to the Toronto Local Appeal Body. This motion will authorize the City Solicitor to attend the Toronto Local Appeal Body ("TLAB") with appropriate City Staff or outside consultants, in order to oppose the minor variances requested in the Application. This motion will also give the City Solicitor authority to negotiate a settlement of the appeal and retain outside consultants as necessary. This matter is time sensitive and urgent as the City Solicitor requires instructions to obtain party status in the appe…

Majority required - MM22.31 - Adopt the item
City Council adopted Item 2023.CC2.1 - 2023 Housing Action Plan, which introduced a new regulatory framework for Multi-Tenant Houses. Through the adoption of this item, Council directed Staff to provide exemptions from certain City fees and charges for Multi-Tenant Houses. An exemption was not advanced for the parkland dedication requirement, under of Article II of the Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 415, Development of Land. An amendment to the parkland dedication article of the Municipal Code to provide an exemption from the parkland dedication requirement for dwelling rooms within Multi-Tenant Houses is consistent with the exemptions that apply to other growth funding tools for this form of housing. At its meeting of July 24 and 25, 2024, City Council adopted Item 2024.MM20.30 which directed the General Manager Parks, Forestry and Recreation, in consultation with the Executive Director Municipal Licensing and Standards, City Solicitor and Chief Financial Officer to bring forward an amendment to the Municipal Code to provide an exemption from the parkland dedication requirement for Dwelling Rooms. Staff have advised that this report will be brought forward by the end of 2024. The…

Majority required - MM22.30 - Adopt the item
On August 29, 2024, the Committee of Adjustment (the "Committee") refused an application brought by the owner of 186 Thirtieth Street for variances to City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 to construct a new warehouse (the "Application"). A copy of the Committee's decision is attached as Attachment 1. On September 18, 2024, the owner appealed the Committee's refusal of the Application to the Toronto Local Appeal Body. The Application presents outstanding concerns including, but not limited to, excessive massing and insufficient setbacks. The Toronto Local Appeal Body hearing is expected to be scheduled imminently — as such this motion is urgent. This motion will authorize the City Solicitor to attend the Toronto Local Appeal Body hearing along with appropriate City staff to oppose the appeal. This motion also authorizes the City Solicitor to negotiate a settlement of the appeal and retain outside consultants as necessary.

Majority required - MM22.26 - Adopt the item
The recent news that the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit won’t open in 2024 is yet another disappointing setback for the many Torontonians that live and work along the line that is at least a billion dollars over budget and has been delayed for years. Residents and businesses along 19 kilometres of Eglinton Avenue have been enduring over 12 years of hardship due to the endless construction. They have suffered incredible disruption and unmanageable traffic and safety issues as well as greatly reduced customer traffic, loss of revenue and in many cases business closure. Despite repeated calls by City Council demanding greater transparency and accountability, Metrolinx continues to refuse to explain the repeated delays, cost overruns and won’t even set a forecasted completion date. It is unacceptable that residents whose real estate and business decisions based on the line opening in 2020 are still left waiting for the bus. Further to recommendations made in item 2023.MM2.1, this Motion calls upon City Council to once again ask for a public inquiry into this project and request Metrolinx and the provincial Minister of Transportation to appear before the Executive Co…
