On the agenda

As the city filed it

In December 2018, Toronto City Council considered a report from the City Manager and City Clerk with recommendations that recalibrate the City's governance system given the change in City Council size from 45 to 26 Members. In that report, the City Manager and City Clerk recommended that City Council convert four Council member appointments to the Board of the Toronto Regional Conservation Authority to public members such that Council would appoint five Council Members and nine public members.

City Council requested the City Manager and the City Clerk to have discussions with the Toronto Regional Conservation Authority on the timing of implementing change to Toronto's appointments and any other considerations. City Council continued the appointment of the existing City of Toronto representatives to Toronto Regional Conservation Authority from the prior Council term in the interim. The City Manager and City Clerk has consulted with the Toronto Regional Conservation Authority and recommend that City Council convert two Council member appointments to public members. This ensures that Toronto's fourteen legislatively required appointments to the Toronto Regional Conservation Authority are balanced seven and seven between Council members and public members.
