On the agenda

As the city filed it

This motion recommends that City Council authorize the release of $230,895 in Section 37 funds to undertake the West Annex Phase II Heritage Conservation Study. In 2010, $200,000 in Section 37 funding was earmarked for the Annex Residents Association (ARA) to prepare an Annex Heritage Conservation Study but these funds have remained dormant ever since and were never released to the Annex Residents Association. On May 22, 2024, City Council's decision on Item TE 13.3, ( https://secure.toronto.ca/council/agenda-item.do?item=2024.TE13.3 ), has unlocked these forgotten funds and allowed them to be put to use.

City Council no longer permits third parties to prepare Heritage Conservation Studies. Meanwhile, the provincial government has made heritage conservation dramatically more difficult, and there is a December 31, 2024, deadline for designating listed properties. After consultation with Heritage Planning and the Annex Residents Association, the Annex Residents Association wishes to have these dormant funds transferred to Heritage Planning, who will use the funds this year to undertake the West Annex Phase II Heritage Conservation Study, as directed by Item 2018.PG25.4 .
