As the city filed it

At the conclusion of the City Council meeting scheduled for July 28 and 29, 2020, City Council will be recessing until its meeting of September 30 and October 1, 2020. 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 (or the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal where there is a related appeal) either on an appeal by the City itself or on the applicant's appeal to the tribunal.

The purpose of this Motion is to delegate temporary authority during this period to the Ward Councillor to instruct the City Solicitor, and appropriate City staff, to attend at the Toronto Local Appeal Body (or the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal where there is a related appeal) on the application, provided the Ward Councillor has first consulted with the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, or designate. This would include the authority to direct the City Solicitor to file an appeal of a decision and retain outside experts as necessary. It also authorizes the City Solicitor to resolve matters in consultation with the Ward Councillor and the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning.
