As the city filed it

At the conclusion of the City Council meeting scheduled for July 16 and 17, 2019, City Council will be recessing until its meeting of October 2 and 3, 2019. During that period it is likely that there will be decisions arising from applications to the Committee of Adjustment which will be matters of concern to the City and would warrant the City's attendance at the Toronto Local Appeal Body either on an appeal by the City itself or on the applicant's appeal to the tribunal.
