The decision

2023-03-29 · Toronto City Council · adopted

On the agenda

As the city filed it

This motion is urgent as it deals with workplace health and safety matters. Since the beginning of the term, we have been working with the Deputy City Clerk of Member Services and Program Support in regard to office space within City Hall. The Ward 13 team consists of 10 staff, in addition to the Councillor. Along with two other offices, Ward 13 is allocated extra staff due to the size and population of our ward. The current structure of our City Hall office does not allow for a safe and healthy working environment due to the crowding of the office.

City Staff recommended bringing this item to Council for approval. Without this approval, the Ward 13 office will not have enough space to safely follow the City's Workplace Health and Safety policies. This approval would come at a cost to the Ward 13 Office, matching the use of other City of Toronto Civic Centres, as Toronto City Hall is the local civic centre for downtown Councillors. Suite A7 is currently an unused space on the second floor, with no Councillor nor City Staff using it as a permanent office or touchdown space except for the Ward 13 office.

Staff recommended

Councillor Chris Moise, seconded by Councillor Shelley Carroll, recommends that: 1. City Council approve assigning Suite A7 to the Ward 13 Councillor for the same fee charged to utilize civic centre offices.
