  COVID-19 Intergovernmental Funding Update

  Partnerships between governments have been critical in our country's response to COVID-19, including efforts to contain the pandemic, roll-out vaccines and safely re-open the economy. Investments from the federal and provincial governments, including through the Safe Restart Agreement, have been fundamental to this effort by supporting the preservation of the City's essential services and allowing job-creating capital investments to proceed. However, Toronto and other large cities continue to face a precarious multi-year recovery. Federal and provincial partnerships will be required to mitigate pressures related to COVID-19 in 2022 and beyond, including those caused by transit ridership losses and additional expenditures in areas such as the shelter system. According to preliminary estimates, $1.0 billion to $1.4 billion in further funding commitments are required to address 2022 COVID-19 related impacts alone. Commitments are required in the short term to address this situation so that City staff can present a balanced budget for 2022, and avoid a reduction in service offerings (including pandemic response) and capital offsets/deferrals, which would both delay and hinder the City's recovery. As the economic driver of the province and country, Toronto's rapid recovery from the economic shock of COVID-19 is critical.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council request the Government of Canada and the Ontario Government to provide funding commitments to address the City's COVID-19 related financial impacts in 2022 and 2023. 2. City Council request the Government of Canada and the Ontario Government to allocate COVID-19 related support to municipal governments on a needs basis, including recently announced provincial operating funding for public transit systems. 3. City Council request the Ontario Government to confirm that $28 million in provincial emergency funding that has been previously committed to the City for public transit as part of Phase 2 funding can be rolled over past the end of the provincial fiscal year (March 31, 2021).

  Staff recommendation as filed

  The City Manager and the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer recommend that: 1. City Council request that the Government of Canada and the Ontario Government provide funding commitments to address the City's COVID-19 related financial impacts in 2022 and 2023. 2. City Council request that the Government of Canada and the Ontario Government allocate COVID-19 related support to municipal governments on a needs basis, including recently announced provincial operating funding for public transit systems. 3.

  Affordable and Accessible Childcare for All - Update on Federal-Provincial Negotiations - by Councillor Joe Cressy, seconded by Councillor Michael Thompson

  Affordable, accessible, high-quality child care is critical for our pandemic recovery. Parents won't go back to work they can't find space at a child care centre within their budget. This affects women the most, who have long disproportionately shouldered the burden of unpaid labour in the home, who were more likely to stay home while students were learning remotely, and who tend to be employed more often in industries that have been hardest hit by the pandemic. Looking ahead to the recovery, it is more important than ever to help parents get back into the workforce. And over time, these benefits to families and society will pay off with interest: access to safe, high quality child care supports the healthy growth and development of all children. The Government of Canada announced in the spring a commitment to build a national early learning and child care system, and has since signed agreements with eight provinces and territories. Ontario and the Federal Government have yet to sign a deal. This is an urgent matter for Torontonians. We are requesting City staff bring an update to the next meeting of the Economic and Community Development Committee, including options for the City of Toronto to partner directly with the Government of Canada if necessary.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council urge the Province of Ontario and the Government of Canada to sign an agreement regarding the Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care Plan before the end of 2021 and based on City Council's recently-affirmed (2021.MM32.12) support for building a system of early learning and child care services that are high-quality, public and not-for profit, affordable, inclusive and accessible for all families.

  Staff recommendation as filed

  Councillor Joe Cressy, seconded by Councillor Michael Thompson, recommends that: 1. City Council request the General Manager, Children's Services to provide an update to the Economic and Community Development Committee at its meeting scheduled for December 1, 2021: a. on the status of negotiations with the Province of Ontario and the Government of Canada regarding agreements and the flow of funding for the National Childcare Strategy investment announced in the 2021 Federal Budget; and b. with options for the City of Toronto to partner directly with the Government of Canada if an agreement is not reached with the Province of Ontario.

  Request the Government of Ontario Help to Stop Out-of-Control Housing Prices by Imposing a Home Speculation and Home Flipping Tax - by Councillor Mike Colle, seconded by Councillor John Filion

  Given the out of control, hyper escalation of home prices in Toronto, making housing affordability impossible for most Torontonians, and given that these out of control housing prices are fueled by real estate speculators and home flippers ("investors") who are buying multiple properties other than their primary residence, it's time for the Ontario Government to stop out-of-control housing prices by re-imposing a Land Speculation Tax to stop home speculators from unfairly driving up the cost of housing in Toronto to unprecedented levels. Recent data from the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board shows that home prices in the City rose by an alarming 22 percent over the last year making the average selling price for a resale house or condo $1.16 million (up from $955,889 which was last November's average). This explosion in housing costs is being fueled in large part by home speculators who are purchasing multiple homes and flipping them for huge profits. According to Teranet, an unprecedented 25 percent of all property sales in Toronto are now to land speculators (so called "investors") up from 16 percent in 2011. According to research by the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation, home prices in Canada have risen 30 percent since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and land speculation is partially to blame. Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation Chief Economist, Brad Dugan says that's "something that worries [him] because that adds extra froth to the market, pushes home prices higher and can create a harder landing if and when the market turns and prices correct." When Toronto was facing a similar problem in the early 1970s, Ontario Premier Bill Davis implemented a 50 percent Land Speculation Tax on people buying and selling homes that were not their principal residence. This tax is credited with slowing the extreme increase in property values in Toronto in the 1970s. Urgent action is needed to help stop the extreme increase in home prices in Toronto, driven by home flippers and land speculators who treat housing like a Bitcoin-type commodity.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, referred Motion MM38.1 to the Executive Committee.

  Staff recommendation as filed

  Councillor Mike Colle, seconded by Councillor John Filion, recommends that: 1. City Council request the Government of Ontario to introduce a Home Speculation and Home Flipping Tax to help stop the extreme increases in home prices driven by land speculators and home flippers in the City of Toronto.

Mayor Tory remarked what an enormous job it was to be the Mayor of the amalgamated City and to try to bring together a group of people, 54 Members of Council, who were married in forced circumstances by the Province, and to try to move forward a united City. Mayor Tory noted the success of former Mayor Mel Lastman in the creation of the first Mayor's Committee on Child Abuse, and the first Mayor's Committee on Drinking and Driving, as well as his keen interest in Race Relations and Elder Abuse issues. Mayor Tory noted that these were issues that Mel Lastman took leadership of and addressed the challenges in a forthright way. Mayor Tory remarked on the work of Mr. Lastman with the Provincial and Federal levels of government on Toronto's waterfront, work that continues today. Mayor Tory spoke of how people loved Mel Lastman because of his authenticity, and that he was extremely kind-hearted and respectful to everyone no matter what their station in life. Mayor Tory commented that Mel Lastman was larger than life and that he defended, promoted and advanced the interest of the City. Mayor Tory, on behalf of Members of City Council and the people of the City of Toronto for which he served for so long, thanked Mel Lastman for this service and thanked Mel Lastman's family for supporting him during his service. Mayor Tory, on behalf of Members of City Council and the people of the City of Toronto, expressed his sincere condolences to Mel Lastman's family.

  Authorization to Release Section 37 funds to Fund the Production and Installation of a Heritage Plaque to Recognize the Significance of the Andrew Mercer Reformatory - by Councillor Joe Cressy, seconded by Councillor Gord Perks

  This Motion seeks authorization to release $7,500 in Section 37 funds to Heritage Toronto for the creation and installation of a heritage plaque to recognize the significance of the Andrew Mercer Reformatory for Women. Opened in 1880, the Andrew Mercer Reformatory for Women was the first reformatory and prison in Canada built exclusively for women. The province used $90,000 from the estate of philanthropist Andrew Mercer to build the facility on King Street West, near Dufferin Street, where Allan Lamport Stadium now stands. Its original capacity was for 250 women, with a 50-person wing devoted to the imprisonment of girls under 14. In addition to confining women, the Reformatory also aimed to teach women Victorian virtues such as domesticity, servility, and obedience. Incarcerated women performed household chores and were ostensibly taught cooking, baking, sewing, and knitting. Within the first ten years of operation, the success of the reformatory was in question. Employees claimed there was little reforming of women and mostly forced labour, confinement, and abuse. Ontario's Female Refuges Act (1897-1964) was used to arrest and imprison girls and women if they were thought to be "incorrigible" or "unmanageable", found begging, drunk, or were suspected of leading an idle or dissolute life; vague terms that could be applied to anything deemed immoral. Anyone could bring these charges forward. After 1913, a change was made to the Andrew Mercer Reformatory Act to allow indeterminate sentences. Canadian legal scholar and historian, Constance Backhouse, has highlighted abuses inflicted on women in the institution, including Velma Demerson, who was one of the few people to receive compensation for her time at the Reformatory, and Muriel Walker. These women were subjected to several involuntary medical procedures by the reformatory doctor. After years of allegations of abuse, a 1964 Grand Jury investigation publicly revealed what was happening at the Mercer Reformatory; medical care was inadequate, the gymnasium was unequipped and never used, the library had few books, spaces were inadequate and aging, and there were no real education classes. The Reformatory was finally closed and demolished in 1969 and inmates were moved to the Vanier Centre for Women in Brampton, Ontario. The former superintendent's house at 1177 King Street West is the only part of the Mercer Reformatory complex that remains. The majority of the former site is occupied by Lamport Stadium, which was built in 1974. This Heritage Toronto plaque will provide public education about the Mercer Reformatory and the abuses suffered by women incarcerated there. Heritage Toronto will conduct additional research and consult with stakeholders during the creation of this plaque.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council increase the Approved 2021 Operating Budget for Heritage Toronto on a one-time basis by $7,500.00 gross, $0 net, fully funded by Section 37 community benefits obtained from the development at 165 and 171 East Liberty Street (Source Account: XR3026-3701057), for the production and installation of a heritage plaque to recognize the significance of the Andrew Mercer Reformatory for Women (Cost Centre: HG0001).

  Authorization to Release Section 37 Funds from the Development at 21 Old Mill Road to Lakeshore Arts for Mural Art at Stephen Drive - by Councillor Mark Grimes, seconded by Councillor Mike Colle

  The Sunnylea-Stonegate Neighbourhood Association has partnered with the Neighbourhood Love Collective and Lakeshore Arts on a Gateway Mural on Stephen Drive, just north of the Queensway. They will hold two information sessions, survey, winter nature walk and an art making workshop and ideas gathered through these consultations will inform the mural design concept. This is an incredible opportunity to help brighten up our community, enhance our public space, and increase the accessibility of art in our neighbourhood. The requirement for funding is that the mural must be strongly associated with a theme based on our community's heritage. The Sunnylea-Stonegate Neighbourhood Association's theme is centered on the Humber River being honoured as a Canadian Heritage River, which will comply with the requirements of the funding. Section 37 funds have been secured and received from the development at 21 Old Mill Road for Heritage improvements along the Humber River. The intent of this Motion is to transfer a total of $3,000 of Section 37 funds from the development to Lakeshore Arts to provide one-time capital funding for the purpose of creating a mural using the South Humber Park and Humber River as inspiration. The initial mural concept is a site-specific design honouring the natural environment right next to the mural site. By representing and painting the Humber River and its flora and fauna that inhabit the Sunnylea-Stonegate neighbourhoods, the mural will celebrate this Canadian Heritage River and the community's relationship with it.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council increase the approved 2021 Operating Budget for Non-Program by $3,000.00 gross, $0 net, fully funded by Section 37 funds obtained in the development at 21 Old Mill Road (Source Account: XR3026-3700443) for the purpose of creating a mural using the South Humber Park and Humber River as inspiration (Cost Centre: NP2161). 2. City Council direct the funds to be forwarded to Lakeshore Arts upon the signing of an undertaking by Lakeshore Arts that governs the use of the funds and the financial reporting requirements.

  Budgeting for the City of Toronto’s Future - by Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam, seconded by Councillor Gord Perks

  COVID-19 has laid bare systemic inequalities and has left the City of Toronto scrambling to fill services gaps. Chronic underfunding of necessary services is rampant and leaves residents without essential services. In order to adequately address service gaps, and chronic underfunding, the City of Toronto needs to re-evaluate how we determine the tax-supported budget. Historically, the City of Toronto evaluated budgetary needs and then determined the tax-supported rate for residents. In 2010, Mayor Rob Ford changed this process. Since then, the City of Toronto has determined the tax-supported budget rate and then discussed which services get funded through the budget. As we recover from COVID-19, it is critical that this process be re-evaluated. The Federal and Provincial governments have not sufficiently responded to the City's continued calls for financial support around integral services like supportive, affordable, and transitional housing and mental health and addictions services. In order to support the needs of the residents of Toronto, we need to consider how we can better address underserved City divisions. If we truly wish to have a recovery for all, we each need to invest in our future and the vision of our City.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, referred Motion MM38.4 to the Executive Committee.

  Staff recommendation as filed

  Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam, seconded by Councillor Gord Perks, recommends that: 1. City Council direct the City Manager and the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer to prepare a report of outstanding Council approved budget requests, operational costs, and capital improvements in advance of determining the tax-supported budget. 2. City Council direct the City Manager and Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer to recommend options for additional revenue streams to support meeting the above budget necessities in advance of determining the tax support budget, including, but not limited to, options for: a. Sales Revenue Tax; and b. Vehicle Registration Tax.

  Traffic Safety Review of Dundas Street East and Sherbourne Street - by Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam, seconded by Councillor Mike Layton

  On November 18, 2021 a member of the Toronto Centre community was killed in a tragic traffic accident at the corner of Dundas Street East and Sherbourne Street. This individual was previously involved in a separate traffic related incident that also took place at the same intersection. This individual was the second person killed at this intersection in the last six months. The Dundas and Sherbourne area has a significant homeless population either living in local shelters or visiting the area daily for services. We have seen for years that they are at added risk to vehicular injury if they are left to fend for themselves without sustained and appropriate social support. A safety review of this area is needed to accurately assess and address the longstanding safety challenges that have increased in recent years due to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as other contributing social and economic factors. Dundas Street East and Sherbourne Street sees a high volume of fast moving traffic. The area is also busy with pedestrians. Many people who seek refuge on the corner are impacted by extreme poverty, homelessness, poor sleep, mobility issues, physical and mental health issues and high levels of stress increasing vulnerability to traffic accidents. The result is a high risk area for both pedestrians and motorists. It is for these very complex reasons why a traffic safety review of the area is so badly needed.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services to undertake a traffic safety review of the intersection of Dundas Street East and Sherbourne Street and provide recommendations for enhanced road safety features as soon as possible and for rapid installation of these measures included in a report to the January 6, 2022 meeting of Toronto and East York Community Council. 2. City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services to consider installing a Red Light Camera at Dundas Street East and Sherbourne Street and to report back to the January meeting of the Infrastructure and Environment Committee on the feasibility of this installation. 3. City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services to consider placing an Automated Speed Enforcement device at the corner of Dundas Street East and Sherbourne Street and to report back to the January meeting of the Infrastructure and Environment Committee on the feasibility of this installation. 4. City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services to consider reducing the speed limit on Sherbourne Street between Gerrard Street East and Shuter Street by ten kilometres per hour and include their findings in the report to the January 6, 2022 meeting of Toronto and East York Community Council. 5. City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services to consider increasing traffic marshalls and traffic safety support when construction is taking place near the intersection during peak traffic hours and include their findings in the report to the January 6, 2022 meeting of Toronto and East York Community Council.

  Recognizing the Needs of Entrepreneurs, and the Evolving Economy as it Relates to Housing Affordability (Rental and Ownership) within the Municipal Comprehensive Review and Our Plan Toronto Process - by Councillor Michael Thompson, seconded by Councillor Mark Grimes

  As described in the City of Toronto's Official Plan, over the next 30 years Toronto will continue to grow and change. It is expected that by 2051 a minimum of 700,000 people will move to the city and call Toronto home. Over that same time period, an additional 450,000 jobs will be created for people to work in Toronto. In total, by 2051 it is predicted that Toronto will grow to a population of at least 3.6 million and have a job market with more than two million jobs. As more Canadians enter the workforce and unemployment pressures affect people's outlook on their jobs and careers, the City of Toronto must ensure that its Planning frameworks and methodology recognize changing needs to ensure that new policies incorporate and foster growth and prosperity. The COVID-19 pandemic and the significant changes to the workplace has escalated the need to adapt our planning and land use policies to accommodate this changing workplace environment. As the economy adapts to the "new norm" with respect to business and entrepreneurs, the City of Toronto must ensure that planning policies and assessment of land use recognizes and adapts to these circumstances. According to the Future of Entrepreneurship in Canada Report by Intuit Canada, 1 in 5 Canadians started their own business within the past year, resulting in approximately 2 million more entrepreneurs totaling 9 million entrepreneurs. Housing affordability is a well-known challenge in the City of Toronto and is expected to be for the foreseeable future. This is true for young entrepreneurs that are pursuing their dreams of owning their own business. The need for affordable office space in tandem with the need for housing affordability creates opportunities to potentially address both issues through a contemporary approach to land use planning and developments that recognize the need for a truly Live/Work design. It is important that the Municipal Comprehensive Review and Our Plan Toronto recognize our evolving economy and the importance of land use planning as it relates to young entrepreneurs, particularly within the Black, Indigenous and people of colour, and Two Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Intersex, Queer, Questioning, communities. The City of Toronto has recognized the need to provide support to entrepreneurs through Enterprise Toronto which offers a number of important services, including Business Boot Camps, Business Plan review and one-on-one support. Incorporating the needs of entrepreneurs within the Planning process is a complementary step that will be consistent with the City of Toronto's support and encouragement of entrepreneurship. Live/Work development projects can assist the City in accommodating the types of employment anticipated in the future such as creative and knowledge-based economies and provide opportunities to address the changing nature of employment and living, such as small local businesses who seek space with access to transit in mixed-use communities and the growing trend for live-work, work-from home. Within the City of Toronto, there are potential opportunities to develop a mix of commercial office, retail and residential uses that can support provincial and municipal policy objectives for economic development, creating complete communities that include live-work opportunities and transit-supportive densities. This Motion is urgent as the Municipal Comprehensive Review and Our Plan Toronto process is currently underway with a provincially mandated deadline for municipalities to complete their review by July 1, 2022.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council request the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning to consider the evolving needs of entrepreneurs in the new economy and the challenges of housing affordability when assessing and making recommendations within the upcoming Municipal Comprehensive Review and Our Plan Toronto process.

  Urgent Support for Young People’s Theatre - by Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam, seconded by Councillor Gary Crawford

  The purpose of this Motion is to seek City Council authority to amend the terms of the lease agreement with Young People's Theatre (the "Tenant") and the City (the "Landlord") to allow the Tenant to complete the necessary Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning system repair through their own hired contractor and be compensated by the City. Young People's Theatre is a charitable, not-for-profit arts organization providing professional theatre programming for children, youth and families, and one of the most respected companies in North America. They have continuously occupied the purpose-built theatre at 165 Front Street East since 1977 and steward the facility since then. Young People's Theatre has a below market rent lease with the City that was entered into in August 2010 and renewed in 2020. The Tenant has been without a fully-functioning Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning system since 2019. The current terms of the lease stipulate that the Tenant is responsible for all capital improvements, including Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. However, Economic Development and Culture has traditionally supported this work as often tenants are not well positioned to do so. Due to the timing of the tender and budget process, the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning replacement may not be possible until the summer of 2022, or later, thus delaying the planned re-opening. Young People's Theatre is currently undertaking a significant renovation of the space with their own funds. The Tenant is in the unique position of having construction management and engineering expertise on hand to expedite the process, and the ability to cash flow the project in advance of reimbursement from the City. In order to facilitate the successful reopening of this important cultural facility, after a very challenging year for the arts, it is recommended that this amendment be approved so that Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning replacement can occur in advance of a spring 2022 opening. Funding of $0.600 million for Young People's Theatre is part of the Economic Development and Culture's 2022-2031 Capital Budget and Plan through the 2022 process for City Council consideration.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council authorize the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture to administer and release, from Economic, Development and Culture's 2022 Capital Budget, up to $600,000 in eligible expenses to the Young People's Theatre, to fund the replacement of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system located in the tenant's leased premises at 165 Front Street East, using the tenant's own contractor, subject to the City's standards and specifications and in compliance with the City's Fair Wage policy and Labour Trades requirements. 2. City Council authorize the City to enter into such agreement(s) with Young People's Theatre as may be required to identify the terms upon which such funding will be provided by the City, to the satisfaction of the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture and including, if required, amendments to the lease dated December 1, 2020, between the Young People's Theatre as "Tenant," and the City of Toronto, as "Landlord", with any such lease amendments to be on terms satisfactory to the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management.

  Staff recommendation as filed

  Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam, seconded by Councillor Gary Crawford, recommends that: 1. City Council authorize the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management, to amend the City's lease, dated December 1, 2020, between the Young People's Theatre as "tenant," and the City of Toronto, as "landlord," to permit the tenant to complete Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning repairs with their own contractor and to be reimbursed by the City of Toronto through Economic, Development and Culture's 2022 Capital Budget. 2. City Council authorize the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture, to administer the release of the following payments to the Young People's Theatre for up to $600,000 in eligible expenses related to the replacement of the Tenant's entire Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning system.

  1-70 Eglinton Square, 1431 and 1437 Victoria Park Avenue, 14, 18, 19, 22, 23 and 26 Engelhart Crescent and 64 and 68 Harris Park Drive - Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment - Request for Directions

  On October 4, 2016, the applicant submitted an Official Plan Amendment to amend the Toronto Official Plan to add a Site and Area Specific Policy for the lands known as the Eglinton Square lands (1-70 Eglinton Square, 1431 and 1437 Victoria Park Avenue, 14-26 and 19-23 Engelhart Crescent, and 64-68 Harris Park Drive) Application 16 230579 ESC 35 OZ to permit a mixed use development (the "Originally Proposed Site and Area Specific Policy "). The Originally Proposed Site and Area Specific Policy maintained the existing Mixed Use Areas and Neighbourhoods designations. The Originally Proposed Site and Area Specific Policy provided for a mixed-use community to develop over time on the lands. The proposed mixed-use development would include multiple tall buildings with a range of building heights and stacked townhouses with a total of 1,630 residential units and 26,004 square metres of new retail uses proposed to be developed in five (5) blocks. A related Rental Housing Demolition and Conversion application (File 16 230698 ESC 35 RH) under Section 111 of the City of Toronto Act, 2006 (Chapter 667 of the Municipal Code) was also submitted on October 4, 2016 to allow for the removal of 91 rental units in eight (8) existing apartment buildings, to be replaced elsewhere in the future redevelopment of the site. Review of this application is underway and a decision on this application will be deferred until such time as a decision has been made by the Ontario Land Tribunal on the Official Plan Amendment application, and a decision has been made on the Zoning By-law Amendment (17 242390 ESC 35 OZ) application for these lands. On November 10, 2017, the applicant appealed their proposed Official Plan Amendment to the OLT due to Council's failure to make a decision within the statutory timeframe. On December 16, 2019, the City received a letter from the applicant's solicitor, being a "with prejudice" settlement offer and formal revision to the application ("Resubmission Letter"). The Resubmission Letter advised that the applicant has amended its application to include all of its lands, inclusive of the existing shopping mall, and excluding the lands south of Engelhart Crescent (Block E in the Originally Proposed Site and Area Specific Policy, which contains the four existing rental apartment buildings at 19-23 Engelhart Crescent and 64-68 Harris Park Drive) with a proposed density of 4.9 times the area of the lands. The Resubmission Letter was not accompanied by any supporting reports or update letters from the original application, as acknowledged in the Resubmission Letter. City Staff are not in a position to adequately review, circulate and comment on the revised proposal given the lack of a complete submission package. City staff require a complete submission package, including supporting reports, in order to adequately review and comment on the revised proposal. On January 8, 2020, Scarborough Community Council directed that the City Solicitor, the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning and appropriate City staff attend a meeting to discuss a possible resolution of the matter in advance of the January 29, 2020 City Council meeting. The matter was deferred at the January 29, 2020 City Council meeting and due to COVID-19 it was subsequently deferred to the July 28 and 29 City Council meeting and then the November 25 and 26, 2020 City Council meeting. At its April 7 and 8, 2021 meeting, City Council considered a Request for Directions Report from the City Solicitor on the Official Plan Amendment. In May 2021, the Applicant revised their existing Zoning By-law Amendment application and expanded the boundaries to include the entire site. The Applicant has subsequently appealed their Zoning By-law Amendment to the Ontario Land Tribunal. The purpose of this report is to request further instructions in this matter which is the subject of an appeal to the Ontario Land Tribunal.

  1001 Ellesmere Road - Zoning Amendment Application - Further Request for Direction

  Goldman Ellesmere 2 Developments Incorporated and the Goldman Group (the "Owner") applied to redevelop a former industrial site with townhouses and a 4-storey commercial building at 1001 Ellesmere Road (the "Site") in 2014. The Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment and Draft Plan of Subdivision applications were appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal (the "Tribunal") due to the City's lack of decision within the statutory timeframe. On March 31, 2015, City Council supported a settlement with the Owner, which was ultimately approved by the Tribunal. The Tribunal's approval re-designated a portion of the Site Mixed Use Area (Blocks 1, 2, 3), while maintaining the Employment Area designation for another portion of the Site (Block 4). As a result of the settlement, townhouses are permitted on Blocks 1, 2 and 3, whereas Block 4 is only permitted to have certain commercial uses. The settlement contemplated specific phasing of the development, and required that Block 4 be developed for commercial uses prior to residential townhouse development on Block 3. The Zoning By-law Amendments (By-law 1109-2015 (Ontario Municipal Board), and By-law 892-2016 (Ontario Municipal Board)), require phasing, which is secured and set out in greater detail in in both the Section 37 Agreement (Public Attachment A) and the Subdivision Agreement (Public Attachment B). Townhouses have been developed on Blocks 1 and 2, and the Owner has provided the City with a proposed revision to the settlement offer (Public Attachment C). The purpose of this report is to request further instructions on this revision.

  Rail Traffic Bell Ringing Noise Mitigation Strategies - by Councillor Ana Bailão, seconded by Councillor Frances Nunziata

  The challenges of urban living in the City of Toronto are clear to all who call the City home. Many of these are issues which cannot be easily resolved but those that can significantly improve quality of life in our communities must be addressed. One such issue that has significantly impacted residents in my Davenport community, and communities surrounding it, is bell-ringing associated with trains operated by the Provincial transit agency, Metrolinx (GO Transit). As ward Councillor for the Davenport community, I have joined with local residents in calling on Metrolinx to mitigate the impacts on quality of life associated with the bell-ringing connected to their trains. Metrolinx had committed to a pilot project to consider alternatives but there is no indication that this initiative has actually commenced and the lack of clarity on this messaging has created confusion. For some time Metrolinx had maintained that federal railway legislation precluded them from ending or seeking alternatives to bell-ringing. Correspondence from the then federal Minister of Transport in 2019 clearly stated that this was not the case for rail lines operated by Metrolinx and therefore alternatives to bell-ringing can be safely put in place. This is just not a local community issue for residents of Davenport or nearby neighbourhoods. As well as existing provincial rail infrastructure, major rail transit projects are either underway or will soon commence. The issue of bell-ringing is impacting many communities like the Davenport community but with transit expansion planned and underway this will become an exponentially increasing issue at many stations. As a City, we must take the initiative to ensure that Metrolinx undertakes meaningful and expeditious actions that will lead to solutions both in the short and long term to the issue of loud bell-ringing from their trains.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council direct the City Manager and the Deputy City Manager, Infrastructure and Development Services to engage with the President and Chief Executive Officer of Metrolinx, and appropriate staff of the Provincial transit agency, to request and require that they develop and outline how they will cease the use of bell ringing by trains within the City of Toronto and City Council request that a relevant update report be provided to the March 24, 2022 Economic and Community Development Committee.

  86 Foch Avenue - Request for City Solicitor to Attend at the Toronto Local Appeal Body - by Councillor Mark Grimes, seconded by Councillor Michael Ford

  The applicant applied to the Committee of Adjustment seeking permission to construct a new detached dwelling with an attached garage at 86 Foch Avenue (Application Number A0112/21EYK). In particular, the applicant seeks variances from City-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013 and Etobicoke Zoning By-law 1979-67, including variances for lot coverage, gross floor area, front yard setback, rear yard setback, window projection, basement grade, and dwelling height. On August 26, 2021, the Etobicoke York District Panel of the Committee of Adjustment refused to grant the requested variances (copy attached). The applicant has appealed the refusal to the Toronto Local Appeal Body. A hearing has been scheduled for February 14, 2022. Community Planning staff do not support the application. On August 18, 2021, Community Planning for the Etobicoke York District wrote a report to the Committee of Adjustment recommending that the minor variances be refused (copy attached). Staff recommend refusal of the minor variances because the proposed massing and scale of the dwelling would not be in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and the Zoning By-laws, and would not respect nor reinforce the prevailing character of the neighbourhood. Urban Forestry staff also wrote to the Committee of Adjustment on April 19, 2021 recommending refusal of the application because the proposed development would require the removal of by-law protected trees (copy attached). This Motion will authorize the City Solicitor to oppose the applicant's Toronto Local Appeal Body appeal and to secure the necessary authorization and resources to support the City's opposition to the appeal.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council direct the City Solicitor, and any other appropriate City Staff, to attend the Toronto Local Appeal Body in respect of 86 Foch Avenue to uphold the Committee of Adjustment's refusal of the Applicant's proposed development (Committee of Adjustment Application Number A0112/21EYK). 2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to retain outside consultants as necessary.

Given the large number of parties and issues, the hearing of the Port Lands issues was planned to be phased. The first phase dealt with Land Use and Transportation matters, and was resolved through negotiation and settlement discussions, resulting in Decisions and Orders of the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal in March and May of 2021, commending the City and the parties and approving the OPM in part. The remaining issues to be litigated include matters related to: Urban Design Standards & Heritage; Sustainability and Biodiversity; Infrastructure (Community and Hard Servicing) & Implementation; and Hydro-specific Issues. A six-week hearing is scheduled for May and June, 2022 to deal with any outstanding issues (the Port Lands OPM Hearing (Phase 2)). The purpose of this report is to seek instructions in respect of the Port Lands OPM Hearing (Phase 2). City Planning has been involved in the preparation of this report.

  Support to Theatre Museum Canada towards the Development of Cultural and Museum Space - by Councillor Joe Cressy, seconded by Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam

  The intent of this Motion is to approve a financial contribution in the amount of $80,000 to The Theatre Museum Corporation (operating as Theatre Museum Canada), a registered charity to develop cultural and interpretive museum space. Since 2011, the City and Theatre Museum Canada, have been working together to find cultural space appropriate for a small arts and heritage organization with the following mission: "We invite the world to explore and be inspired by the past, present and future of Canadian theatre", and vision: "Our vision is a Canada that values all shared expressions of theatre by all people as essential and enriching elements in our social fabric." Securing space for Theatre Museum Canada would help to preserve Toronto's heritage as a major theatre centre while also creating a new cultural tourism amenity for the city. Theatre Museum Canada will develop a renovation proposal, sustainable, long term funding (capital and operating) and fundraising plan for the potential space, architectural plans, and a long term programming and events plan. In order to do this in a timely fashion, the Theatre Museum requires the support of the City. Funding is required before the end of 2021 to support Theatre Museum Canada's funding applications to other orders of government, and to enable the organization to proceed with planning. The proposed support is consistent with Recommendation 18 to "preserve existing and create new, affordable spaces for culture across the City" of the "Building Back Stronger: Report of the Economic and Culture Recovery Advisory Group" adopted as amended by City Council in Item EC18.15 on December 16, 17 and 18, 2020. Theatre Museum Canada's pursuit of public cultural programming space meets the City's policies and priorities consistent with Item EC8.6 - Establishing Strategic Priorities for Culture Investment (2020 - 2024) adopted by City Council at its meeting on October 29 and 30, 2019 and supports Toronto's arts, heritage and culture community at large. Any delays in securing Council approval may result in financial hardship to Theatre Museum Canada. The proposed one-time financial contribution for Theatre Museum Canada is $80,000 and funding will be accommodated within the 2021 Approved Operating Budget for Economic Development and Culture.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council authorize the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture to contribute and transfer $80,000.00 to Theatre Museum Canada from Economic Development and Culture Division's 2021 Approved Operating Budget to support the feasibility study and pre-construction costs associated with a new space for Theatre Museum Canada, consistent with Item EC8.6 - Establishing Strategic Priorities for Culture Investment (2020 - 2024) adopted by City Council at its meeting on October 29 and 30, 2019. 2. City Council authorize the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture to negotiate, enter into and execute a funding agreement on behalf of the City with Theatre Museum Canada on such terms deemed necessary and appropriate by the Acting General Manager, Economic Development and Culture and in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor.

  147 Church Street - Notice of Intention to Designate a Property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act

  This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the property at 147 Church Street (including entrance addresses at 149 Church Street, 18 Dalhousie Street, and 20 Dalhousie Street) for its design, associative, and contextual values under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. Constructed circa 1910 for prominent Toronto businessman and contractor Joseph Wright, the property at 147 Church Street spans the shallow block between Church and Dalhousie Streets, and includes a primary elevation on the east side of Church Street and a secondary elevation on the west side of Dalhousie Street. The property is a representative example of the Edwardian Classicism architectural style that was popular for commercial buildings in the early 20th century. The property retains its original scale, form, and massing as a 3-storey flat-roofed building, and its Edwardian Classicism style is reflected in its simple, balanced design and restrained classical detailing. On June 8, 2018, an Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application was made for a site at 139-149 Church Street. The original development scheme did not propose the conservation of any portion of the building at 147 Church Street. As a result of continued discussions with the owner in an attempt to resolve outstanding issues, the revised development scheme, at the time of writing this report, involves demolition of the building at 147 Church Street, and panelization and reconstruction of its principal (west) elevation. In June 2019, the More Homes, More Choice Act, 2019 (Bill 108) received Royal Assent. Schedule 11 of this Act included amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act. The Bill 108 Amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act came into force on July 1, 2021, which included a shift in Part IV designations related to certain Planning Act applications. Section 29(1.2) of the Ontario Heritage Act now restricts City Council's ability to give notice of its intention to designate a property under the Ontario Heritage Act to within 90 days after the City Clerk gives notice of a complete application. The application currently under review was deemed complete prior to the new legislation coming into force on July 1, 2021. Designation will enable City Council to review proposed alterations or demolitions to the property and enforce heritage property standards and maintenance.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council state its intention to designate the property at 147 Church Street (including entrance addresses at 149 Church Street, 18 Dalhousie Street, and 20 Dalhousie Street) under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act in accordance with the Statement of Significance: 147 Church Street (Reasons for Designation) attached as Attachment 3 to the report (December 1, 2021) from the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning. 2. If there are no objections to the designation, City Council authorize the City Solicitor to introduce the Bill in Council designating the property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.

  545 Lake Shore Boulevard West - Notice of Intention to Designate a Property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act

  This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the listed heritage property at 545 Lake Shore Boulevard West (including active entrances at 525 and 535 Lake Shore Boulevard West and 11, 13, and 15 Bathurst Street) under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its design/physical, historical/ associative, and contextual values. The Crosse & Blackwell building located on the property at 545 Lake Shore Boulevard West holds heritage value as a unique example of a former industrial headquarters with Art Deco and Beaux Arts stylistic influences. The property comprises a three-and-a-half-storey brick and cast-stone building with a two-and-a-half-storey hexagonal pavilion, located on the southeast corner of Lake Shore Boulevard West and Bathurst Street. Constructed in 1927 as an office and manufacturing plant for Crosse & Blackwell, a longstanding producer of British foodstuffs, was one of the first buildings constructed on reclaimed land at the west end of Toronto harbour as part of the Toronto Harbour Commission's waterfront industrial development plan. The building's design by notable architects Chapman and Oxley demonstrates a unique application of Art Deco and Beaux Arts stylistic influences to an industrial headquarters. Listed on the City's inaugural heritage register by City Council on June 20, 1973, the Crosse & Blackwell Building located on the property at 545 Lake Shore Boulevard West was amongst the earliest properties recognized by the City for its heritage value. The property also represents an early example of adaptive reuse; after the building was listed on the municipal heritage register and acquired by the Harbourfront Corporation in 1973, it was successfully reused as a media centre associated with CFMT-TV and OMNI-TV from 1979 to 2009. In 2018, a Zoning By-law Amendment application (File 18 241642 STE 20 OZ) was submitted to the City to permit a 12 storey and a 22-storey mixed-use building, containing primarily residential uses with some ground floor retail uses on the south portion of the site. The Crosse and Blackwell building is proposed to be conserved and used primarily for office uses with the potential for retail uses at grade level. A courtyard open space is proposed centrally located on the site between the Crosse and Blackwell building and the new portion of the development. In September 2021, the City received an application for Site Plan Approval related to the proposed redevelopment of the site at 545 Lake Shore Boulevard West, which would retain the existing structure. In June 2019, the More Homes, More Choice Act, 2019 (Bill 108) received Royal Assent. Schedule 11 of this Act included amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA). The Bill 108 Amendments to the OHA came into force on July 1, 2021, which included a shift in Part IV designations related to certain Planning Act applications. Section 29(1.2) of the OHA now restricts City Council's ability to give notice of its intention to designate a property under the OHA to within 90 days after the City Clerk gives notice of a complete application. The designation of this property is not subject to Section 29 (1.2) since it is an application for Site Plan Approval. A Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) is required for all development applications that affect listed and designated properties and will be considered when determining how a heritage property is to be conserved. Designation also enables City Council to review proposed alterations or demolitions to the property and enforce heritage property standards and maintenance.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council state its intention to designate the property at 545 Lake Shore Boulevard West (including active entrances at 525 and 535 Lake Shore Boulevard West and 11, 13, and 15 Bathurst Street) under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act in accordance with the Statement of Significance: 545 Lake Shore Boulevard West (Reasons for Designation) attached as Attachment 3 to the report (December 1, 2021) from the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning. 2.

  64 King Street - Proposed Amendment to Designation By-law Under Part IV, Section 30.1 of the Ontario Heritage Act

  This report recommends that City Council state its intention to amend the former Borough of York By-Law 2970-78, and in so doing, update the Statement of Significance designating the property at 64 King Street under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, to reflect the 2021 amendments to the Act and Ontario Regulation 9/06 of the Act, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation. The property was designated in 1978 by the Council of the former Borough of York. The Reasons for Designation does not include a statement of the cultural heritage value or a description of heritage attributes of the property. On October 1, 2021, City Council directed the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning to review the statement of significance for the Tyrrell House at 64 King Street, and to report on the recommendations to amend the designation By-law 2970-78 to update the cultural heritage values and attributes in accordance with the 2021 amendments to the Act, for City Council consideration by December 15, 2021. The property at 64 King Street is located at the northeast corner of Rosemount Avenue and King Street. Known as the "Tyrrell House," it contains the original main dwelling fronting King Street and the original two-storey rear wing fronting Rosemount Avenue. The property was designed by and built for William Tyrrell, a successful politician in York Township and the Village of Weston and an architect, carpenter, and builder, as his grand estate in 1859. The subject property is amongst one of the first and largest properties constructed in the historic Village of Weston east of the railway tracks. The Tyrrell family continued to own the property until c.1920. Staff have completed the Research and Evaluation Report for the property at 64 King Street and determined that the property meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act under design and physical, historical and associative, and contextual value. As such, the property is a significant built heritage resource. The property at 64 King Street is considered a local landmark as it contributes to a sense of place within the Weston neighbourhood and is valued by the local community as a significant part of the area's history and present-day context. A Consent Application was submitted by the owner on May 5, 2021 to obtain consent to sever the designated property into two residential lots. Two Minor Variance applications were also submitted on May 5, 2021 to maintain the existing historic detached dwelling and to construct a new detached dwelling with an attached garage.

  Authorization for Non-Competitive Process for Supportive Housing Operators - by Councillor Ana Bailão, seconded by Councillor Paula Fletcher

  The Federal government announced phase one the Rapid Housing Initiative in September 2020, which included an allocation of $203 million under the Major Cities stream to the City of Toronto to create a minimum of 540 new affordable and supportive homes. The City of Toronto has used this funding to acquire properties and convert them into permanent affordable housing, as well as to develop new modular housing for people experiencing homelessness as an urgent response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The acquisition, conversion and construction of these properties will be completed throughout 2021 and into early 2022. On October 27, 28 and 30, 2020, City Council adopted Item MM25.32 authorizing, among other things, the Executive Director, Housing Secretariat, in consultation with the General Manager, Shelter, Support and Housing Administration, to issue a Request for Proposals and to select non-profit housing providers to operate the affordable and supportive housing units to be developed under phase one of Rapid Housing Initiative. A Request for Proposals for Indigenous housing providers to operate the Rapid Housing Initiative phase one sites at 222 Spadina Avenue and 292-296 Parliament Street was issued by the City of Toronto on November 9, 2021 and will close on December 17, 2021. To ensure that the sites can be ready for occupancy in early 2022, this Motion recommends that the Executive Director, Housing Secretariat be authorized to undertake a non-competitive process, in collaboration with the Toronto Alliance to End Homelessness and Miziwe Biik Development Corporation, to identify qualified operators in the event that no successful proponent is identified through the Request for Proposals process. This non-competitive process, should it be used, would help ensure that the sites can be opened upon completion of construction to move people experiencing homelessness into permanent affordable homes with appropriate supports, thereby relieving pressure from the City's shelter system.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council authorize the Executive Director, Housing Secretariat to work with the Toronto Alliance to End Homelessness and Miziwe Biik Development Corporation to engage the non-profit sector and select suitable operators to lease and operate the new Federally-funded affordable rental housing being created at 222 Spadina Avenue and 292-296 Parliament Street through a non-competitive process for an initial five-year term, with an option to extend the term for up to 5 additional years, (prioritizing those with extensive supportive housing management experience), and subsequently conduct a competitive process to select operators for longer term leasing and operation of the properties, in the event that no successful proponent(s) are identified through the open Request for Proposals. 2. City Council authorize the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management, in consultation with the Executive Director, Housing Secretariat, to negotiate, approve and execute, on behalf of the City, nominal rent leases or below market rent leases and related agreements with each of the non-profit housing operators that may be selected through the process referred to in Part 1 above for up to five (5) years, with an option to extend the term for up to 5 additional years, on such terms and conditions acceptable to the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management, in consultation with the Executive Director, Housing Secretariat, and in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor. 3. City Council authorize the Executive Director, Housing Secretariat to negotiate and execute on behalf of the City, municipal housing facility agreements (the City's "Contribution Agreement") with the non-profit housing providers that may be selected through the processes referred to in Part 1 above, to secure the financial assistance being provided and to set out the terms of the operation of the new affordable rental housing, on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Executive Director, Housing Secretariat and in a form approved by the City Solicitor.

  Direction to Report on Toronto Seniors Housing Corporation's Appointment of its First Chief Executive Officer - by Councillor Paul Ainslie, seconded by Councillor Paula Fletcher

  The newly established Toronto Seniors Housing Corporation represents an important step forward in the implementation of the City's Tenants First project and the Toronto Seniors Strategy, and the objective of improving support of vulnerable seniors in social housing. As the Toronto Seniors Housing Corporation is in a developmental phase, it is critically important that the corporation is aligned and collaborating with the City as it prepares to assume operations of approximately 14,000 seniors-designated social housing units. Toronto Seniors Housing Corporation currently has a Transitional Lead and Chief Corporate Officer and the corporation has initiated a search for its first Chief Executive Officer. Under the shareholder direction the core mandate of Toronto Seniors Housing Corporation includes supporting aging in place through the delivery of the Council-approved Integrated Service Model. The reporting to City Council on the selection of Toronto Seniors Housing Corporation's first Chief Executive Officer will facilitate the alignment of City and Toronto Seniors Housing Corporation decisions during this phase and going forward. Toronto Seniors Housing Corporation is a corporation created under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), and City of Toronto is its sole shareholder. Section 5(g) of the Council-approved shareholder direction to the Corporation authorizes the Board of Directors to appoint its Chief Executive Officer and section 11.2 requires the board to adopt a Senior Executive compensation policy that is consistent with the City's Guiding Principles in the Development of Senior Executive Compensation Policies for City agencies and corporations. In addition to the shareholder direction, City Council acting as shareholder has the authority to direct the corporation to take certain actions.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council, as Shareholder, direct the Board of Directors of the Toronto Seniors Housing Corporation to report to City Council on the decision of the Board appointing the first Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and on its Senior Executive Compensation Policy.

  Augmenting the City's Approach to Safe Transportation in Construction Zones - by Councillor Mike Layton, seconded by Councillor Joe Cressy

  In a Motion from November, Council approved a look at updating the Guiding Principles document, with respect to how we manage traffic around construction sites, including the implementation of greater safety measures for cyclists during construction activity ( http://app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgendaItemHistory.do?item=2021.MM36.18 ). Council should look to augment this report back, due for the first quarter of 2022, to specifically include examples of best-practices regarding the implementation of new temporary bike lanes or cycling detours when a bike lane or other existing bicycle infrastructure is disrupted by longer-term construction projects and the feasibility of making these practices a permanent policy within Transportation Services. We must ensure the safety of our most vulnerable road users firstly when planning traffic diversions and enforcing our by-laws to ensure that developers and contractors are not putting any road user in harm's way.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services to report back on best practices and policies for the safe accommodation of bicycles through or around work zones, including evaluating the potential for a "mobility squad" as used in Montreal, and make any recommendations for enhancements to the City's Guiding Principles for Cycling Safety in Work Zones and/or implementation of new policies.

  Making Space to Save The Arts in Toronto - by Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam, seconded by Councillor Joe Cressy

  Arts and culture make up the fabric of every major city, and it is integral to tourism, hospitality and the well being of life in our downtown. The arts have been a critical piece to the collective well-being of residents, and it will be essential in the recovery of the downtown and the City of Toronto. Over the past two years, we have seen many businesses shutter permanently, and have seen many arts organizations lose their venues and spaces to operate and rehearse. Most recent examples are Rehearsal Factory, a substantial building dedicated to rehearsal for live music; Sterling Lofts, an intimate artistic hub, and now several artisans from the Distillery District. Not only is the loss of these arts organizations a detriment to arts and culture in Toronto, but further perpetuates empty storefronts and lost businesses to our streets. If the City of Toronto is serious in its recovery, we cannot afford to forget about an investment in arts and culture, especially for the two-spirited, lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer (2SLGBTQ) and Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities. If we wish to remain a hub for the creative industry, we have to find creative and supportive solutions to sustain the future of arts and culture or we risk losing our innovators, creators, storytellers and performers forever. It cannot wait.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, deferred consideration of Motion MM38.21 to the February 2 and 3, 2022 meeting of City Council.

  Staff recommendation as filed

  Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam, seconded by Councillor Joe Cressy, recommends that: 1. City Council direct the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture, in consultation with the Toronto Arts Council, to consider the feasibility of a grant which supports the promotion and preservation of independent live performance venues and art spaces in Toronto and to report back through the 2022 budget process, including but not limited to: a. a new grant stream pilot, to be administered by Toronto Arts Council; b. add-on to existing grant structures to direct operational funding toward obtaining, or maintaining a venue; c. scalable options for a variety of venue sizes, operational costs, and d. estimated additional funding required to implement the recommended program. 2. City Council direct the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture, in consultation with Strategic Communications, to provide recommendations on outreach and educational campaigns promoting existing programs at the federal, provincial and municipal programs to support cultural recovery. 3. City Council direct the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture to report on recommendations for granting reform for all municipal cultural granting programs to better advance Equity-deserving groups and new organizations by July 2022. 4. City Council direct the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture to develop comprehensive plans and policy recommendations that will sustain the arts and culture sector, including the possibility of working with for-profit organizations, structured partnerships, Business Improvements Areas, and CreateTO to develop smart, long-term policies for operations of City-owned cultural spaces, and to report back to City Council by July 2022. 5. City Council direct the City Manager, in consultation with the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, to recommend a cost estimate for interim financial supports for arts and culture spaces through the 2022 budget process, and to consider a segregated fund to assist with the replacement of existing cultural space for artists and venue operators lost through the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and consistent with Part 18 of the Building Back Stronger Report adopted by Council December 7, 2020. 6. City Council direct the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture, in consultation with the City Solicitor, the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management, to determine recommendations for alternative location for the displaced arts organizations and vendors in the Distillery, including a review of the City's portfolio of available spaces in the Distillery District and the local community and opportunities to fill vacant storefronts and report to City Council on outcomes in 2022. 7. City Council direct the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, in consultation with the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture, to prioritize efforts to secure new affordable and permanent space for arts and culture uses through new development applications in the Distillery District and the local community. 8. City Council direct the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture, in consultation with the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management and the local Business Improvement Area, to explore the feasibility of providing pop-up storefronts and other accessible spaces from across the City for both non-profit and for-profit arts businesses and to report back to City Council in the first quarter of 2022.

  Supporting a Canadian Winter Tradition - by Councillor John Filion, seconded by Councillor Mike Colle

  Natural skating rinks are a winter tradition in Toronto and a fundamental Canadian winter experience. The City of Toronto has traditionally supported 30 to 40 community groups each year to flood areas in local parks. These have created spaces relied upon by neighbourhoods for community building and for keeping active during the coldest months of the year. Levels of City support for rinks has changed over time. In 2021, a number of rink organizers expressed frustration over reduced service levels proposed by City staff. In some cases, rink teams were told that support would no longer be available for installing boards to support skating or hockey. In other cases, groups were told that their boards, traditionally stored by the City, had exceeded their lifespan and were no longer available. Community groups investing hours of their time in the freezing cold weather to provide low cost enhancements to City properties have a reasonable expectation of support and communication - especially when that support has been relied upon for past activities. With changing weather patterns and increasing volatility, the City should be engaging with these community groups to establish what role it can play to make these rinks easier for volunteers, especially in the setting up or dismantling of infrastructure. Local councillors often have regular contact with these groups and any changes to past service levels should also be considered in collaboration with their offices.

  Motion MM38.22 was withdrawn at City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021.

  Staff recommendation as filed

  Councillor John Filion, seconded by Councillor Mike Colle, recommends that: 1. City Council direct the General Manager, Parks Forestry and Recreation to provide support matching 2020-21 service levels to community/neighbourhood groups by the end of the 2021-22 application period to ensure the success of the City's natural ice rinks, including: a. the installation, removal and storage of any hockey boards on rinks where such boards were used in the 2020-21 season. b. continued support with equipment, materials or staff time provided in the 2020-21 season. c. consultation with the local councillor in cases where any future service changes are proposed. 2. City Council direct the General Manager, Parks Forestry and Recreation to report back to the Economic and Community Development Committee by the second quarter of 2022 on support that the City can put in place to cultivate new and existing community/neighbourhood groups willing to commit their time for the success of a natural ice rink in their community.

  Green Market Acceleration Program - by Councillor Jennifer McKelvie, seconded by Councillor Mike Layton

  The City of Toronto can make a major impact on the commercialization of locally made solutions to climate change by hosting demonstrations and pilots of new-to-market technologies through the Green Market Acceleration Program. This includes City divisions and the City's agencies, boards and commissions. The Green Market Acceleration Program will accelerate the reduction of green house gas emissions while at the same time increase jobs locally. In May 2018, City Council directed the Economic Development and Culture division, along with the Toronto Office of Partnerships to continue work on Green Market Acceleration Program. The direction from Council has been expanded on in the recommendations of this Motion to provide additional support for the City of Toronto's Net Zero Strategy.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council request the heads of all City agencies and corporations and direct division heads to execute agreements on behalf of the City for the duration of the Green Market Acceleration Program providing for the implementation of applied research partnerships, proof of concept projects and technology demonstrations using City assets or infrastructure in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor. 2. City Council request all City agencies and corporations and direct divisions to work with Green Market Acceleration Program through the duration of the program to assist local businesses with their applied research, proof of concept projects and technology demonstrations, supporting the development of "made in Toronto" market-based innovative solutions to real world issues and growing Toronto's economy. 3. City Council request all City agencies and corporations and direct divisions to designate a green market acceleration liaison who will work with Green Market Acceleration Program staff to identify assets under their control that can be used for specific Green Market Acceleration Program projects and be the champion to help the agency, board, commission or division staff to undertake the projects. 4. City Council direct the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture, in the report back to City Council on the Green Market Acceleration Program, to provide a report card on the efforts to support commercialization that identifies the number of Green Market Acceleration Program projects sent to each agency, corporation and division; the number of Green Market Acceleration Program projects implemented by each agency, corporation and division; and the reasons why Green Market Acceleration Program projects, if any, did not proceed.

  Feasibility of Rezoning 467 Spadina Road for a Multi-unit Apartment - by Councillor Josh Matlow, seconded by Councillor Mike Layton

  The beautiful apartment at 467 Spadina Road, just north of Forest Hill Village, has been vacant since 2006 following a mass renoviction. Confirmed as heritage by Council in 2020, the property now sits as a derelict eyesore providing a home for rats instead of people. A developer satisfied the rental replacement requirements under Section 111 of the Planning Act and was able to pursue a two-unit development that kept the original structure intact. That developer, however, did not follow through on their plans and sold the property. Earlier this year, Councillor Matlow's office and City Planning were approached by the new owner of the property stating their intention to revitalize the building and convert it back to a 17-unit apartment. It was determined by City Building that the applicant would have to go through Committee of Adjustment to change the project back to an apartment building after the previous two-unit project. Despite having support from City Planning and Councillor Matlow's office, the applicant deferred their August 2021 Committee of Adjustment date stating in the Toronto Star that they now believed it would be more financially advantageous to pursue the two-unit plan. Recently, the owner has put the property back on the market. This Motion requests City Staff to report on any zoning amendments required to "legalize" the existing apartment to send as strong a signal as possible to both the current owner, and any prospective one, that the City of Toronto strongly supports a multi-unit apartment at 467 Spadina Road.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council request the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, in consultation with the City Solicitor as necessary, to report on any zoning amendments that would be required to permit a multi-unit apartment building within the existing building envelope at 467 Spadina Road and to bring forward any required zoning by-law amendments to a statutory public meeting under the Planning Act after holding a community meeting.

  Greater Action to Fight Auto Theft in Toronto - by Councillor Mike Colle, seconded by Councillor James Pasternak

  Auto theft has reached unprecedented and epidemic levels in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. The Toronto Police Service estimates that 5,347 cars have been stolen in the City so far this year. Auto theft is not a victimless crime but rather it is violent, dangerous and linked to various organized criminal activities. Cars are being stolen and carjacked right out of driveways, loaded into cargo containers and shipped out of Canadian ports to be sold overseas to help fund organized crime. Auto theft does not respect municipal and provincial boundaries and according to analysis conducted by the Insurance Bureau of Canada, there were over 12,000 auto theft claims in Ontario in 2020, an increase of 55 percent between 2016-2020.[1] The value of these claims totalled $250.7 million, an increase of 149 percent over this same period. This costs all vehicle owners, especially in Toronto. A recent Toronto Star article estimates that auto insurance rates in Toronto are 13-15 percent higher than the rest of Ontario to pay for the high rate of vehicle theft in the City. While auto thefts have been on the rise there is no longer a dedicated unit to address this issue in the Toronto Police Service and some other Ontario municipal police services. In an effort to address operational priorities and pressures the unit that previously existed to address issues such as high end auto thefts was disbanded and investigations of this nature are handled at the unit level. Auto theft costs Canadians billions of dollars each year. Our local Toronto Police Service cannot deal with this significant criminal industry without Provincial and Federal support. [1] Insurance Bureau of Canada analysis based on industry data from General Insurance Statistical Agency (GISA) exhibit AUTO7001-ON-2020.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council request the Toronto Police Services Board to engage with the Chief of Police to: a. determine the resources required to re-establish a policing unit specifically dedicated to fighting the increasing problem of auto theft in Toronto; and b. mandate the unit to conduct proactive investigations with partner agencies across Ontario, to ensure greater information sharing and coordination of investigations into high end auto thefts. 2. City Council request the Province of Ontario and the Government of Canada to recognize the urgent need to work with and provide resources to the Toronto Police Service to combat this out control criminal activity that cannot be stopped without Provincial and Federal support. 3. City Council call on the Government of Ontario to join with the Toronto Police Service and other municipal police services in creating a Provincial/Municipal Auto Theft Task Force to combat this epidemic of auto theft.

  The approved site specific Zoning By-law 1182-2016 for the lands municipally known as 2135 Sheppard Avenue East, 325 Yorkland Boulevard, 55 Smooth Rose Court and 15 Smooth Rose Court permits a mixed use development in three residential buildings on the development site (Registered Plan 66M-2561, the "Lands") with heights of 34 storeys (Building A), 43 storeys (Building B), and 26 storeys (Building D), as well as a 4-storey retail building (Building C) at the southwest corner of Sheppard Avenue East and Yorkland Boulevard (Part of Block 1, Registered Plan 66M-2561 and more particularly described as Parts 4 and 10 on Reference Plan 66R-31677, the "Site"). Currently, Building D is constructed and occupied, and Building B is under construction and Site Plan Notice of Approval Conditions have been issued along with a Site Plan Agreement registered as Instrument AT5895305. Building A has a Site Plan Application filed with the City and is currently under review. On August 10, 2021, Hiltin Hills Developments Inc. (the "Owner") submitted an Application to amend Zoning By-law 1182-2016 (the "Application"). The Application seeks to amend the 4-storey retail building (Building C) to permit a 12-storey mixed use building with an additional approximately 19,373.1 square metres of gross floor area on the Site, totalling 23,993.4 square metres. The Application remains incomplete as of November 5, 2021. The Application, in its current form, does not conform to the ConsumersNext Secondary Plan with respect to the overall permitted density, building typology, setback, step backs, angular plane, and ground-floor uses. Further, pursuant to Section 22 (2.1.1) of the Planning Act, the Owner is not permitted to file for an amendment to the Secondary Plan before the second anniversary of the first day any part of the Secondary Plan comes into effect. The ConsumersNext Secondary Plan came into force over the lands on April 16, 2021. However, pursuant to the exception under Section 22 (2.2), Council may declare by resolution that a specific request to amend the Secondary Plan be permitted. The Owner has agreed to amend the Application to lower the height of their proposal so that it meets the maximum height of the right-of-way of Sheppard Avenue East to be considered a mid-rise building as per the Mid-Rise Building Performance Standards, and to incorporate more retail space into their ground floor, as shown in the attached letter from the Owner. In particular, a minimum of 1,858 square metres (20,000 square feet) of contiguous retail space on the ground floor, the design of which shall not preclude the ability to accommodate a grocery store. Further, the applicant has agreed to relocate the proposed parkland dedication to the southern end of the site to be integrated with the existing parkland block dedicated as part of the larger development site. Additionally, the applicant has agreed to work with staff to resolve issues related to setbacks, step backs and angular planes. With the revisions to the proposal, the Application requires an amendment to the Official Plan (ConsumersNext Secondary Plan) to allow for a maximum density of 3.5 Floor Space Index (FSI) on the Site, which will exceed 3.5 Floor Space Index (FSI) for the Lands as currently permitted by the Secondary Plan, and recognize the existing 6.5 metre road widening previously conveyed along Sheppard Avenue East. ("Requested OP Amendment"). In order to facilitate appropriate development on the Site while maintaining the intent of the original proposal to provide non-residential uses on the Lands, the owner requires City Council permit the request to amend the Secondary Plan for the City to accept and review the Requested Official Plan Amendment.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council declare, pursuant to subsection 22(2.2) of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.

  Reallocation of Section 37 Funds from 2450 Victoria Park Avenue for the Expansion of Pleasant View Library - by Councillor Shelley Carroll, seconded by Councillor Paul Ainslie

  On October 30, 2017, the applicant submitted a Zoning By-law Amendment Application for the lands municipally known as 2450 Victoria Park Avenue. The Zoning By-law Amendment Application proposed to redevelop the lands with a total of four mixed use buildings ranging in height from 11 to 44 storeys. A new 2,915 square metre onsite public park and two new east-west private roads were also proposed as part of the application. The existing seven-storey (7,755 square metres) office building on the lands was also proposed to be demolished. On March 23, 2018, the applicant appealed their proposal to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal due to Council's failure to make a decision within the statutory timeframe. Over the course of two years, settlement discussions between the applicant and respective Parties took place resulting in a consensus on built form, density, parking ratio, and site organization. A settlement was reached between the City, Owners and Armenian Community Centre. On August 27, 2020, a virtual settlement hearing took place with the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal. The revised submission now proposes four mixed use buildings ranging in height from 11 to 28 storeys. The current plans also include a 2,850 square metre onsite public park, as well as a new public east-west road. The Local Planning Appeal Tribunal decision was issued on November 25, 2020 and included several pre-conditions to be fulfilled prior to the issuance of the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal's final order. The applicant is currently working on fulfilling these pre-conditions, and have also submitted associated Site Plan Control and Draft Plan of Subdivision applications. City Council authorized the City Solicitor to enter into an Agreement pursuant to Section 37 of the Planning Act, which would accept and secure community benefits as part of the settlement offer. One of the community benefits include a cash contribution of three million ($3,000,000.00) dollars to be used towards public art, streetscape improvements, affordable housing and/or multi-purpose community agency space. The purpose of this Motion is for City Council to reallocate five hundred thousand ($500,000) dollars of the three million ($3,000,000) dollars originally to be used towards public art, streetscape improvements, affordable housing and/or multi-purpose community agency space, to go towards upgrades and expansion of Pleasant View Library.

  Youth Employment Partnership with Desjardins - by Councillor Michael Thompson, seconded by Councillor Shelley Carroll

  Desjardins has been serving Canadians for over 120 years. The husband-and-wife team of Alphonse and Dorimene Desjardins introduced the credit union movement to North America. Their mission was to improve the economic and social well-being of people and their communities by working together. By following this mission and staying close to the communities it serves, Desjardins has evolved to become Canada's leading cooperative financial group providing financial services to over 7 million members and clients. Today, over 4,000 associates represent the Desjardins brand here in Ontario with plans to continue to grow. Desjardins has committed to investing $250 million by 2024 in projects across Canada that support community priorities, including youth, sustainable development, and entrepreneurship.

  Metrolinx Memorandum of Understanding for Dog Off-Leash Area on the Weston Tunnel Roof - by Councillor Frances Nunziata, seconded by Councillor Ana Bailão

  In 2015, Metrolinx and the City of Toronto executed a Memorandum of Understanding that established a commitment to deliver a Dog Off-Leash Area and future park area over those portions of the Weston Tunnel Roof that are not being used by the Toronto Catholic District School Board. This is a long-awaited improvement, and the community has communicated the increased need for such space in this area. City staff have been engaging with Metrolinx's Third Party Review team with the aim of securing a permit from Metrolinx staff to proceed with outstanding construction works to deliver the Dog Off-Leash Area. These efforts have been challenged by a lack of timely sharing of information regarding site restrictions and newly identified technical issues. Metrolinx is requested to make all efforts to prioritize and expedite this project to ensure the City and Metrolinx can deliver this much-needed park space for the community. This Motion is urgent in order to complete the Memorandum of Understanding for this much-needed park space by January.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council direct the General Manager of Parks, Forestry and Recreation and the Executive Director, Transit Expansion Office to request Metrolinx to expedite efforts to deliver on its commitments made to the local community to create a Dog Off-Leash Area on the Weston Tunnel Roof.

  Authorization to Enter into Agreement with Toronto Botanical Garden for Transfer of Civic Garden Foundation Endowment Funds - by Councillor Jaye Robinson, seconded by Councillor James Pasternak

  The Civic Garden Foundation was established in 1983 as a fundraising vehicle and holder of endowment funds for the Civic Garden Centre, the precursor to today's Toronto Botanical Garden. The only function today of the Civic Garden Foundation is to hold endowment funds and distribute the proceeds to Toronto Botanical Garden, a registered charity. The board of the Civic Garden Foundation has determined that the costs and Canada Revenue Agency reporting obligations required to maintain the Foundation are no longer worth having the Foundation remain a separate entity from Toronto Botanical Garden, when Toronto Botanical Garden as a registered charity can perform the same function. Therefore, the Foundation's board has decided to dissolve the Foundation. The Foundation's Letter's Patent require that, upon dissolution and after payment of all debts and liabilities, its remaining property shall be "disposed of to the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto for application for parks and horticultural purposes and The Civic Garden Centre [now Toronto Botanical Garden] equally or failing them to any Canadian charitable organization or governmental body." Toronto Botanical Garden has requested, and the General Manager of Parks, Forestry and Recreation agrees, that the City's share of the Foundation's remaining property, estimated at approximately $175,000, be transferred to Toronto Botanical Garden for the same purposes the Foundation was originally mandated to fulfill. This motion seeks Council authority to accept the funds from the Civic Garden Foundation and enter into the appropriate agreement with Toronto Botanical Garden and transfer the funds to Toronto Botanical Garden. The motion is urgent as the Civic Garden Foundation wishes to wind up operations before the end of fiscal 2021.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council authorize the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation, to accept approximately $175,000 as the City's share of the disposition of the Civic Garden Foundation's property upon dissolution of the Foundation per the Foundation's Letters Patent. 2. City Council authorize the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation to negotiate and execute an agreement with the Toronto Botanical Garden to transfer the City's share of the funds received from the Civic Garden Foundation, requiring Toronto Botanical Garden to spend the funds on parks and horticultural purposes, with the agreement in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor. 3. City Council authorize the transfer of the funds referenced in the agreement between the City and Toronto Botanical Garden in Part 2 above, once the agreement has been signed.

  1200 Dundas Street West - Zoning By-law Amendment Application - Request for Direction - by Councillor Ana Bailão, seconded by Councillor Frances Nunziata

  Dundas Ossington Developments Limited (the "Applicant") is the owner of the property municipally known as 1200 Dundas Street West (the "Subject Property"). In 2017, the Applicant applied for a Zoning By-law Amendment in order to facilitate a proposed redevelopment of the Subject Property to construct an eight-storey mixed use building (the "Application"). The Applicant appealed the Application to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal due to City Council's failure to make a decision. The Applicant submitted a without prejudice settlement offer dated May 6, 2019 (the "Settlement Offer"), which was endorsed by City Council through its adoption of Item CC7.11 at its meeting held on May 14 and 15, 2019. On June 24, 2019, the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal issued an Order, approving the revised Application in principle, generally in accordance with the Settlement Offer dated May 6, 2019 and corresponding revised plans, but withheld the final Order subject to conditions, which include but are not limited to that a number of site plan matters are resolved to the satisfaction of Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, and the City Solicitor, and that the Tribunal has been advised by the City Solicitor that the Zoning By-law Amendment is in a form satisfactory to the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning and the City Solicitor. Through the Site Plan Control process, modifications were made to the built form and design of the proposal, which satisfied City Staff, but that resulted in approximately 312 square metres of additional residential Gross Floor Area and 100 square metres less of non-residential Gross Floor Area than what was supported by Council through the adoption of Item CC7.11. The Request for Directions Report from the Chief Planner recommends that City Council authorize the City Solicitor and appropriate City Staff to support the built form changes and increase in Gross Floor Area set out in the report (December 10, 2021) from the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, and as shown on the Revised Plans attached to the report (December 10, 2021) from the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning on the matter of 1200 Dundas Street West (PL171337) before the Ontario Land Tribunal. This Motion is urgent due to the need to advance the application.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council authorize the City Solicitor and appropriate City Staff to support the built form changes and increase in Gross Floor Area set out in the report (December 10, 2021) from the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, and as shown on the Revised Plans before the Ontario Land Tribunal on the matter of 1200 Dundas Street West (PL171337).

  Amending Definition for Small Business Property Tax Subclass to Clarify Eligibility - by Councillor Gary Crawford, seconded by Councillor Brad Bradford

  City Council adopted Item EX27.7: Implementing a Small Business Property Tax Subclass at its meeting of November 9, 10 and 12, 2021. Attachment 1 to the Item identifies the eligibility criteria for inclusion in the subclass, and the criteria were subsequently enacted by By-law 924-2021 . The eligibility criteria identifies certain geographic areas that are used to determine eligibility. To provide greater clarity of the geographic areas eligible for inclusion, a specialized map has been created to reflect the boundaries of the designated areas. This scalable map will show the actual parcel boundaries and provide a much more accurate representation of eligible areas. The map layer will be made available to the public, and will reflect the list of properties eligible for inclusion in the small business subclass. This Motion seeks Council approval to amend City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 767, Taxation, Property Tax, Article 12, Small Business Subclass § 767-12.3 to replace the Official Plan reference to refer instead to this new map titled: Designated Areas for the City of Toronto Small Business Subclass. This Motion is deemed urgent in order to allow sufficient time to identify properties eligible to be included in the small business property tax subclass, in order that the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation can change the tax classification of eligible properties in time that allows the Final 2022 Property Tax bills to reflect the reduced tax rate for small business properties. REQUIRES RE-OPENING Executive Committee Item EX27.7 (November 9, 10 and 12, 2021) City Council meeting) only as it pertains to the identification of geographic areas used to determine eligibility.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council amend City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 767, Taxation, Property Tax, Article 12, Small Business Subclass, to amend the eligibility criteria to more clearly define the geographic areas that determine whether a property is eligible to be included in the Small Business subclass based on square footage, by deleting the wording in Section 767-12.3A (2)(a): a. The Eligible Property is located within the geographic areas identified in the City of Toronto Official Plan as Downtown and Central Waterfront, Avenues or Centres; and And replacing it with: a. The Eligible Property is located within the geographic areas identified as Downtown and Central Waterfront, Avenues or Centres on the map titled: Designated Areas for the City of Toronto Small Business Subclass attached as Appendix 1 to this Chapter; and 2. City Council authorize the introduction of the necessary Bills in Council to give effect to City Council's decision.

  Authorization to Release Section 37 Funds to the Revitalization of Massey Hall - by Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam, seconded by Mayor John Tory

  Massey Hall is an iconic pillar of Toronto's cultural scene. The performing arts theater has brought Torontonians renowned artists and musicians from Canada and across the globe since 1894. As a legendary tourist attraction in Toronto's downtown core, Massey Hall welcomes people from all over the world. In July 2018, Massey Hall began a significant renovation. The revitalization includes a full restoration of the exterior and interior of the building- including the restoration of 100 original stained-glass windows. The new addition of a seven-storey tower will feature a live-music stage and performance studio in addition to accessibility features. The revitalization beautifully preserves the history of the venue while simultaneously strengthening its role as a vital music hub, able to showcase established artists and support the development of emerging artists, with the creation of a new 500-person performance space. While some work on the revitalization remains, Massey Hall officially reopened to the public in November 2021 after a three year closure. The entire project costs $184 million as is funded through a combination of corporate sponsorships, Provincial and Federal contributions and philanthropic sources. A small funding gap exists for the organization, making this investment timely and important. As a major cultural attraction in the downtown and for the city, there is no doubt that Massey Hall will contribute to the City's economic growth and recovery especially as the tourism industry opens up and we seek to welcome visitors back to our city following the significant tourism impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council direct that, in accordance with the Section 37 Agreement for 480-492 Yonge Street and 3 Grosvenor Street, which specifies a community benefit of $1,370,805 to be allocated towards community, cultural or recreational facilities capital improvements within Ward 13, indexed upward annually for inflation, $437,048.69 of this funding shall be provided for the Massey Hall Revitalization. 2.

  Conveyance of Parkland - 100 Broadway Avenue and 223-233 Redpath Avenue, and 110-120 Broadway Avenue - by Councillor Ana Bailão, seconded by Councillor Paula Fletcher

  100 Broadway Avenue is a purpose-built rental building that includes over 300 replacement units for the site itself, and for those units that City Council has permitted to be demolished at 117-127 Broadway Avenue, 110 - 120 Broadway Avenue, and 174-180 Broadway Avenue. It also includes 50 new affordable units secured as part of the 110 - 120 Broadway re-zoning application. As presently approved and agreed to, the parkland dedication for the 100 Broadway site is required, prior to the Owner being issued an Above-Grade Building Permit for the 100 Broadway building, in accordance with the Municipal Code. The Owner is not yet ready to convey the parkland, because the environmental work to allow for the conveyance in accordance with City policy has been unexpectedly delayed; whereas the Owner is expected to be ready to request an Above Grade Building Permit for the 100 Broadway building in March, 2022 (before the environmental work is completed). A delay in being permitted to request an Above Grade Building Permit for the building at 100 Broadway will mean a delay in constructing and delivering the replacement and new affordable rental housing units, which will impact not only new tenants of the building looking for an affordable unit, but also tenants who have been displaced looking to return to a new unit in the new building. Further, if the issuance of an above grade permit is delayed, the conveyance of the park may also be delayed, as the requirement to complete the park is within 3 years after the issuance of an above grade permit. Amendments to the registered Section 37 Agreements for the 100 and 110-120 Broadway Avenue redevelopments are required, prior to the Owner being able to apply for the Above-Grade Building Permit for the 100 Broadway building. This motion is urgent because, if adopted at the December 15 and 16, 2021 City Council meeting, it will allow for Amending Section 37 Agreement(s) to be drafted and registered in time for the Owner to apply for an Above Grade Building Permit for the 100 Broadway building by March, 2022.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council require the owners of the lands at 100 Broadway Avenue and 223 - 233 Redpath Avenue, and 110 - 120 Broadway Avenue, to enter into and register, in priority, against title to their respective lands an Amended Section 37 Agreement, to the satisfaction of the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation and the City Solicitor, in accordance with the following terms: a. prior to the issuance of the any above grade building permit(s), including any conditional above-grade building permits, the Owners shall: i. post Financial Security in the amount of the value of the parkland as appraised by the Executive Director, Corporate and Real Estate Management in the form of a Letter of Credit and such security shall not be released until the parkland is conveyed to the City in a manner satisfactory to the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation; the Financial Security shall be paid in a form satisfactory to the City, and from the date the Financial Security is first paid to the City to such time as the parkland is conveyed to the City, be indexed annually in accordance with the appropriate Statistics Canada index to the satisfaction of the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation; and ii. register in priority a Section 118 Restriction, pursuant to the Land Titles Act against title to the parkland to be conveyed to the City, that prohibits the transfer or charge of the parkland without the prior written consent of the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation, to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor, concurrent with the registration of the Amending Section 37 Agreement on title to 100 Broadway Avenue and 223 - 233 Redpath Avenue, and 110 - 120 Broadway Avenue; and b. no later than six (6) months after the issuance of the first Above-Grade Building Permit, including any conditional above-grade building permits, for 100 Broadway Avenue and 223 - 233 Redpath Avenue, and 110 - 120 Broadway Avenue, whichever is first: i. the 100 Broadway Avenue and 223 - 233 Redpath owners shall convey to the City a minimum 92.3 square metres of the lands for public parkland purposes, to the satisfaction of General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation, pursuant to Section 42 of the Planning Act; this conveyance and the conveyance of 148 square metres of parkland at 174 - 180 Broadway Avenue, which has already been conveyed to the City, shall satisfy the Owners' Statutory Parkland Dedication requirement; ii. the 110 - 120 Broadway Avenue owners shall convey to the City a minimum 567.6 square metres of the lands for public parkland purposes, to the satisfaction of General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation, pursuant to Section 42 of the Planning Act, which shall satisfy the Owners' Statutory Parkland Dedication requirement; iii. the 110 - 120 Broadway Avenue owners shall convey an additional 86.1 square metres of the lands for public parkland purposes, to the satisfaction of the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation, pursuant to Section 37 of the Planning Act; where the conveyances of Parts 1.b.i., ii, and iii above, combined together form a minimum of 894 square metres of land for public parkland purposes; iv. the 100 Broadway Avenue and 223 - 233 Redpath owners and the 110 - 120 Broadway Avenue owners shall complete the conveyances referred to above to be free and clear above-grade and below-grade of all physical obstructions and easements, encumbrances and encroachments, including surface and subsurface easements, to the satisfaction of General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation and the City Solicitor; v. the 100 Broadway Avenue and 223 - 233 Redpath owners and the 110 - 120 Broadway Avenue owners shall complete the environmental obligations as outlined in the Section 37 Agreement registered on title; and vi. in no event shall there be any residential occupancy or registration of any condominium on any part of the lands under the Condominium Act until such a time as the all of parkland identified above is conveyed to the City. 2.

  Separate Licence Extension Agreements between City of Toronto, as Licensor, and 2249487 Ontario Limited and Easy and The Fifth Inc., as Licensees, for certain premises located at 229 Richmond Street West - by Councillor Joe Cressy, seconded by Deputy Mayor Michael Thompson

  CaféTO is a significant pandemic response program initiated in Spring 2020 to support local Toronto businesses by accommodating rapid access to the public right-of-way for expanded outdoor dining, among other benefits. City Council authorized the renewal of the program with additional enhancements in January 2021. In alignment with the intent and principles of CaféTO, and to provide the most assistance possible to businesses that have been impacted by the hardships of the pandemic, the City of Toronto has made continuous efforts to provide restaurant owners with access to vacant/unused municipal property abutting restaurants that do not meet the CaféTO program criteria. In summer of 2020, 2249487 Ontario Limited (operating as The Ballroom) and Easy and The Fifth Inc. (collectively, the "Licensees") requested to operate outdoor patios at 229 Richmond Street West (the "Property"), which is a City-owned vacant lot, because they were not qualified under the CaféTO program due to the restaurants abutting the Property. Consequently, the City granted separate licenses over a part of the Property (the "Licensed Area") to each of the Licensees to use for outdoor patio purposes for a term of two (2) weeks commencing July 17, 2021 and expiring July 31, 2021 at fair market value license fees. The Licensees' use of the Licensed Area was governed by guidelines similar to the CaféTO program. At its meeting on July 28 2020, City Council authorized the extension of the terms of the licenses until November 16, 2020 and waived the licence fees for the use of the Licensed Area, and additionally enacted a temporary use by-law (the "Site Specific By-law") permitting the use of Property as an outdoor patio. At its meeting of May 5, 2021, City Council authorized entering into new separate licence agreements with each of the Licensees commencing May 6, 2021 and expiring on January 2, 2022 on similar terms and conditions as provided for in the previous licence agreements. The Licencees have now requested the use of the Licensed Area until January 2, 2023 on the same terms and conditions as provided for in the current licence agreement. Per adopted report PH21.7, the site-specific temporary use by-law has been extended by City Council to permit this use to April 14, 2022. Prior to its current expiration, City Planning will be requesting authority from City Council to extend the site-specific temporary use by-law past April 14, 2022. This request is in line with the spirit of the CaféTO program and Council's previous decisions to support local eating establishments as they re-open following closures resulting from COVID-19. Therefore, the purpose of this motion is to obtain authority for the City to enter into separate licence extension agreements for nominal consideration with each of the Licensees for the Licensed Area for the purpose of a patio in connection with the Licensees' restaurants located immediately to the west and east of the Licenced Area. Work is actively underway to transform 229 Richmond Street West into the first major new park in the rapidly-growing King-Spadina area in a generation. Parks, Forestry and Recreation will initiate public engagement on the new park design in 2022 and timelines for construction are not affected by the temporary extension of these licences.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council authorize the Director, Transaction Services, or their designate, from time to time, to enter into separate licence extension agreements with 2249487 Ontario Limited (operating as The Ballroom) and Fifth Social Club Inc. (assumed licence from Easy and the Fifth Inc.) (collectively, the "Licensees") on a nominal basis substantially on the terms and conditions in Appendix A of this Motion (the "Licence Extension Agreements"), and including such other terms as deemed appropriate by the Director, Transaction Services, or their designate, from time to time, and in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor. 2. City Council authorize the Director, Transaction Services to execute and deliver the Licence Extension Agreements and any amendments on behalf of the City. 3. City Council authorize the Director, Transaction Services, or their designate, to administer and manage the Licence Extension Agreements and amendments, including the provision of any consents, approvals, waivers, notices and notices of termination, provided that the Director, Transaction Services, may, at any time, refer consideration of such matters to City Council for its determination and direction.

  Authorization to Submit Pandemic-Related Expenses to the Ontario Ministry of Health for Approved Reimbursement - by Councillor Joe Cressy, seconded by Councillor Mike Layton

  Toronto Public Health employees have gone above and beyond to keep Toronto safe throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and we will soon enter our third year of non-stop, around the clock work. The Ministry of Health has approved a budget for Toronto Public Health that includes overtime as an extraordinary pandemic-related expense that is eligible for full reimbursement by the Province of Ontario. City Council's authorization is needed to pay out the lieu-time balance for hours worked in 2020 and 2021 by non-union Toronto Public Health employees in line with Ministry of Health budget. This motion is urgent because City Council must provide authorization before the end of 2021 in order to be fully reimbursed by the Province.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council approve the pay-out of lieu-time balances, as of December 31, 2021, at straight time for Toronto Public Health non-union employees and for employees deployed to Toronto Public Health for the lieu-time balances earned while deployed to Toronto Public Health.

  355 King Street West and 119 Blue Jays Way-Section 37 Agreement—Use of Non-Profit Space - by Councillor Joe Cressy, seconded by Councillor Mike Layton

  In 2010, the City entered into a Section 37 agreement with the owner of 355 King Street West and 119 Blue Jays Way to permit a large mixed use development. In addition to cash and other contributions, the section 37 agreement requires the owner to provide 900 square metres of non-profit use space, to be used for non-profit arts, cultural or institutional uses. The space has now been constructed on the ground floor and second floor of the building. The owner is required to lease this space to non-profit users for a term of 25 years, with an option to extend the lease for three further terms of 25 years each, for a total potential term of 100 years. The agreement provides for a triple net lease, with the tenant responsible for all operating costs in connection with the occupancy of the non-profit space. Under the Section 37 agreement it is the owner who selects the tenant of the space and enters into a lease directly with the successful tenant. A suitable tenant has been identified for this non-profit space: The Childcare Research Hub, which will act as a hub for multiple childcare research and advocacy non-profit organizations. The Childcare Research hub are currently incorporating a new umbrella organization, and its constituent members will be the Childcare Resource and Research Unit, Ontario Coalition for Better Child Care, the Association of Early Childhood Educators Ontario and the Toronto Community for Better Child Care. I have discussed this tenant with the owner of the property, who is satisfied that this will be an appropriate tenant for the space. Accordingly, I am requesting that City Council direct the appropriate City staff to work with the owner of the property and the proposed tenant so that the two parties can proceed with a lease negotiation for the community space. This motion is urgent due to a clause in the Section 37 agreement allowing the owner to make a cash payment to the City instead of providing the community space. It is necessary that an appropriate tenant be secured quickly.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council direct the appropriate City staff to work with the owner of 355 King Street West and 119 Blue Jays Way and The Childcare Research Hub so that the two parties can proceed with a lease negotiation for the non-profit community space located on first and second floors of the subject property. 2. City Council increase the Approved 2021 Operating Budget for Non-Program on a one time basis by $50,000 gross, $0 net, fully funded by Section 37 (Planning Act Reserve Funds) obtained from the development at 156 Front Street West (Source Account: XR3026-3701065) for the purpose of providing one time capital funding to the Ontario Coalition for Better Child Care on behalf of The Childcare Research Hub for capital improvements to the non-profit space at 355 King Street West (NP2161). 3. City Council direct that the $50,000 be forwarded to Ontario Coalition for Better Child Care on behalf of The Childcare Research Hub, subject to Ontario Coalition for Better Child Care signing an Undertaking that governs the use of the funds and the financial reporting requirements. 4. City Council request the Controller to report to the General Government and Licensing Committee on the feasibility and financial implications of designating the community space as a Municipal Capital Facility and exempting the community space from property taxes.

  Reaffirming Toronto's Opposition and Providing Financial Support to the Legal Challenge against Quebec's Bill 21 - by Mayor John Tory, seconded by Deputy Mayor Ana Bailão, Councillor Shelley Carroll, Councillor Mike Layton, Councillor James Pasternak, Deputy Mayor Michael Thompson

  Last week, Fatemeh Anvari was removed from her job as a Grade 3 teacher at Chelsea Elementary School in Quebec for wearing a hijab. Under Quebec's Bill 21, frontline public employees are banned from displaying religious symbols while working and can be removed or fired as a result. Toronto City Council has taken a consistent and firm stance in opposition to Bill 21. Toronto, as one of the most diverse and multicultural cities on the planet, is home to many different religious communities, and ensures that people of all faiths can feel comfortable wearing their religious symbols in schools, workplaces, and government institutions. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms provides that everyone has the fundamental freedom of conscience and religion. In 2019, Council unanimously approved a motion in response to Bill 21 when it was first proposed in the Quebec National Assembly. The Motion stated: City Council once again reaffirm its support for freedom of religion and expression, and, further state its opposition to any legislation that would restrict or prohibit such freedoms and by doing so, Toronto states its position that the City continues to be a source of worldwide inspiration. Later that year, after Bill 21 was approved, Council again voiced its opposition, stating: 1. City Council oppose Quebec's Bill 21, An Act respecting the laicity of the State and reaffirm the City's commitment to upholding religious freedoms as outlined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. 2. City Council endorse the initiative proposed by Calgary City Council and supported by the Regional Municipality of Peel that asks the Canadian Coalition of Municipalities Against Racism and Discrimination, of which the City of Toronto is a member, to create a nationwide campaign that highlights the harmful widespread impacts of Bill 21 on social cohesion and inclusion in Canada. 3. City Council encourage the Federal Government to unequivocally condemn and challenge Quebec's Bill 21. This law diminishes rights protected by The Canadian Charter of Rights of Freedoms and stands contrary to the values of Torontonians and Canadians-values this council has been vigilant in protecting and upholding. Yesterday, Brampton City Council committed financial support to the legal challenge against Bill 21, and asked that other Canadian municipalities similarly provide financial contributions towards the legal challenge. This Motion is urgent because, in order to provide the best fighting chance for the legal challenge to Bill 21, it requires a commitment of sufficient financial resources from Canadian municipalities as soon as possible.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council reaffirm its opposition to the Province of Quebec's Bill 21, An Act respecting the laicity of the State ("Bill 21") and reaffirm the City's commitment to upholding the freedoms set out in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. 2. City Council support the current legal challenge against Bill 21. 3. City Council provide a one-time 2021 contribution of up to $100,000 to the joint legal challenges of Bill 21 by the National Council of Canadian Muslims, the World Sikh Organization, and the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, to be accommodated from available funding within the 2021 Operating Budget within Non-Program Expenditures. 4. City Council call on all other Canadian municipalities to affirm their opposition to Bill 21 and provide financial contributions to support the legal challenge.

  42 Cedarview Drive - Request for City Solicitor to Attend at the Toronto Local Appeal Body - by Councillor Jennifer McKelvie, seconded by Councillor Gary Crawford

  The applicant applied to the Committee of Adjustment seeking permission to construct a new two-storey detached dwelling with an integral two car garage, a rear covered deck, a rear yard pool and poolhouse at 42 Cedarview Drive (Application Number A0326/21SC). In particular, the applicant seeks variances from City-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013, including variances for building length, building depth and height of rear platform beyond 2.5 metres from the rear main wall. On November 17, 2021, the Scarborough District Panel of the Committee of Adjustment refused to grant the requested variances (Decision attached). The applicant has appealed the refusal to the Toronto Local Appeal Body. A hearing of this appeal has not been scheduled at this time. This Motion will authorize the City Solicitor to seek to retain outside consultants in order to attend the Toronto Local Appeal Body to uphold the Committee of Adjustment's refusal of the minor variance application. This Motion will also authorize the City Solicitor to resolve the matter on behalf of the City in the City Solicitor's discretion.

  Extension of Fit up Period for Food Incubator Tenancy Program at 5200 Yonge Street - by Councillor John Filion, seconded by Councillor Mike Colle

  In May of 2021, City Council approved the creation of a food incubator tenancy program at 5200 Yonge Street to assist four start-up food entrepreneurs, with a focus on providing opportunities for members of communities which have traditionally been disadvantaged. Four vendors and a non-profit lead organization were selected. The initial plan was to begin operations this past summer but the start date was moved back several times for a variety of reasons entirely outside of the vendors' control. Although they are now able to access the space, there remains a number of serious barriers to a successful launch. Accordingly, the fit-up period during which no payment is collected should be extended for one month to January 11, 2022. The Motion is urgent because the new entrepreneurs we are committed to helping require this immediate assistance in order to successfully launch their businesses.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council direct that the City assume all operating costs until January 11, 2022 for the City-initiated food incubator tenancy program at 5200 Yonge Street due to delays outside of the vendors' control in getting the space ready for a successful launch.

  Minor Variance Approval to 8 Elm Street Planning Application - by Councillor Mike Layton, seconded by Councillor Joe Cressy

  In 2021, Zoning By-laws 438-86 and 569-2013 were amended to permit a mixed use development on the property municipally known as 8 Elm Street and 348-354 and 356 Yonge Street. The development approval was for one tower including an on-site 471 m2 community facility. The applicant has since requested that the number of vehicular parking spaces on the development site be amended, and is seeking variances for that reduction. Staff are supportive of this amendment, if the conditions outlined by them can be successfully met. This Motion is urgent to allow the developer to continue with their site plan application and construct housing as soon as possible.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council authorize, pursuant to Subsection 45(1.4) of the Planning Act, submission of a Minor Variance application with respect to the properties municipally known as 8 Elm Street and 348-354 and 356 Yonge Street for relief from site-specific Zoning By-laws approved by the Ontario Land Tribunal on July 30, 2021, in order to vary development standards related to minimum parking requirements and that the variance would be subject to the following conditions: a. provide a dedicated bicycle ramp and/or bicycle elevator as a means of access between the bicycle parking area and the exterior; b. making transit information available to residents, such as transit route. schedules, maps and brochures.

  This Motion requests authority from Council to amend the 2021 Council Approved Capital Budget and 2022-2030 Capital Plan for Parks, Forestry and Recreation in the amount of $0.579 million for improvements to the dogs off leash area in Greenwood Park. Additional funds are required to support the scope of work that meets the needs of the community and to award a contract that exceeds the available budget.

  Streamlined Permit Renewal Application Process for Farmers' Markets - by Councillor Paula Fletcher, seconded by Councillor Frances Nunziata

  There are many fantastic farmers' markets that take place in Toronto parks each year. These markets provide our communities with locally grown, fresh food, they connect Toronto residents to local Ontario farmers and producers, and support healthy communities. They are mostly run by volunteers who commit their time and energy to the success of these much loved annual events. The current process to renew Special Event permits for City Parklands is time-consuming and burdensome on the volunteers. The forms ask for information that the City of Toronto Permit Office already has on hand for markets that return to the same location year after year. Streamlining this process would reduce the workload on the volunteers and help them obtain permits in a timely manner. Farmers' markets are loved by residents who flock to them from one end of the city to the other. They provide residents with access to healthy food and they become local community hubs connecting residents of all ages and backgrounds. Reducing the barriers by streamlining the permit process for long-standing markets will help ensure the success of these markets.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council request the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation to report to the April 26, 2022 meeting of the Infrastructure and Environment Committee meeting on a new streamlined application process for renewing permits for long-standing farmers' markets in City Parklands.

  Interim Relocation of YMCA to St. Patrick's Market - by Councillor Joe Cressy, seconded by Councillor Mike Layton

  City staff require authorization to enter into a temporary 5-year below-market agreement with the YMCA of Greater Toronto to occupy the ground floor of St. Patrick's Market and conduct repairs to the building on behalf of the City. This interim use of St. Patrick's Market will allow for continuity of YMCA that need to relocate from Metro Hall, and begin to animate the previously underutilized heritage landmark on Queen Street. Work continues with City staff and the surrounding community to add additional interim activities at St. Patrick's Market and adjacent St. Patrick's Square during this 5-year period. Complementary food market activity is an active conservation with the YMCA and potential partners like St. Lawrence Market. I am also working with City staff on community engagement to determine the permanent, long-term vision for St. Patrick's Market as a potential community hub and local landmark. Public meetings will be held in 2022.

  Extending Repayment Due Date for Eligible Properties from the 2020 Property Tax Deferral Program - by Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam, seconded by Josh Matlow

  City Council adopted Item EX27.11 Summary of COVID-19 Property Tax Deferral Program at its meeting on November 9, 10 and 12, 2021. The COVID-19 Property Tax Deferral Program was adopted by Council to provide financial support to residents and businesses that faced loss of income and revenues due to the provincial shutdown during the first wave of the pandemic. Property owners that applied and were approved for the program were eligible to defer property tax payments for the 2020 taxation year and the City would waive all interest and fees provided that the City received full payment of all taxes due on or before November 30, 2020. Certain eligible properties that were unable to meet this repayment deadline are still facing many of the same financial pressures that they were last year when this program was implemented due to lock downs throughout the first half of 2021 and capacity limits that continue to be in place for some businesses. Most recently, the Province has paused the lifting of capacity limits in higher-risk settings including food and drink establishments with dance facilities such as night clubs and wedding receptions, strip clubs, sex clubs and bathhouses. It is for these residents and businesses that I ask Council to consider extending the payment due date to June 30, 2021 through a by-law amendment to provide the financial relief originally sought in applying for this program. Staff have advised that 46 out of the 50 properties that did not meet the original repayment due date would benefit from extending the due date to June 30, 2021 as they have since paid their 2020 property taxes in full. Amounts waived would be applied as credits to the property tax account. The total amount of fees, interest and penalties that the City would be waiving as a result of this motion are summarized below. Amounts to be waived will be funded from the 2021 Non-Program Tax Deficiency account, with no impact on current or future year budgets. Account Type Number of Accounts Total Penalty, Fees and Interest added as of November 30, 2020 Residential 35 $3,857 Non-Residential 11 $12,456 Grand Total 46 $16,313 REQUIRES RE-OPENING: Item EX27.11 (November 9, 10 and 12, 2021 City Council Meeting only as it pertains to the repayment date for eligible properties.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, deferred consideration of Motion MM38.50 to the February 2 and 3, 2022 meeting of City Council.

  Staff recommendation as filed

  Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam, seconded by Councillor Josh Matlow, recommends that: 1. City Council amend the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 767, Taxation, Property Tax, to change the repayment due date for eligible properties approved for the 2020 COVID-19 Property Tax Payment Deferral Program from November 30, 2020 to June 30, 2021 by deleting the following Section 767-7G (2)(a): (a) the taxes on the eligible property are not paid in full on or before November 30, 2020; or and replacing it with the following new Section 767-7G (2)(a): (a) the taxes on the eligible property for the 2020 taxation year are not paid in full on or before June 30, 2021; or 2. City Council authorize the introduction of the necessary Bills in Council to give effect to City Council's decision.

  Strengthening Tenant Voices at Toronto Seniors Housing Corporation - by Councillor Paul Ainslie, seconded by Councillor Ana Bailao

  Through the City's Tenants First Project, the City has focused on listening to and responding to tenants voices. Earlier this year, through the adoption of EX23.4 Council directed the creation of Toronto Seniors Housing Corporation and the transition of operations of 14,000 seniors mandated unit at Toronto Community Housing Corporation to the Toronto Senior Housing Corporation. This transition is the result of work over several years to engage with tenants and make positive change at the Toronto Community Housing Corporation. Through the adoption of EX7.1 in 2019, Council directed City staff to work with the Toronto Community Housing Corporation to establish a Senior Tenants Advisory Committee to ensure that senior tenants can directly access, inform and influence services and programs to be provided by the new Seniors Housing Corporation. This Motion reinforces the City's leadership of the Seniors Tenant Advisory Committee and the ongoing work to engage with tenants in decision-making on the future of their housing. The next year will be crucial in ensuring that tenant voices are centred in the transition of operations from the Toronto Community Housing Corporation to the Toronto Seniors Housing Corporation. To further strengthen this process, it is recommended that current Seniors Tenant Advisory Committee members be provided the opportunity to remain on the Committee and that the terms of reference be broadened to include providing input into both the Integrated Service Model and the transition of operations. Through the implementation of the Integrated Service Model, consistent feedback has been heard from tenants of 145 Strathmore about the possibility of a Seniors Health and Wellness Hub at this location. Tenants have expressed concern and we need to listen to them. To support the community and move forward, the Toronto Community Housing Corporation should consider removing this building from future consideration as a Seniors Health and Wellness Hub.

  City Council on December 15, 16 and 17, 2021, adopted the following: 1. To support an effective transition of operations from Toronto Community Housing Corporation to Toronto Seniors Housing Corporation and the successful implementation of the Integrated Service Model, City Council direct the Deputy City Manager, Community and Social Services, to have City staff, through the Tenants First initiative, lead the Senior Tenant Advisory Committee, oversee the recruitment and confirmation of new members, invite current members of the Senior Tenant Advisory Committee to continue their membership to provide continuity of leadership, and ensure that senior tenants can directly access, inform and influence services and programs to be provided by the new corporation. 2. City Council direct the Deputy City Manager, Community and Social Services, to undertake a review of the role and term of the Senior Tenant Advisory Committee in 2022 and provide a report to the Economic and Community Development Committee on April 28, 2022 with recommendations regarding the future of the Senior Tenant Advisory Committee. 3. City Council direct the Deputy City Manager, Community and Social Services through the Tenants First initiative, to engage with the Seniors Tenant Advisory Committee to provide advice and recommendations to the Board of Directors of the Toronto Seniors Housing Corporation on the principals and methods for a tenant engagement system and a summary of the engagement be reported to the Economic and Community Development Committee prior to the transfer of operations of the seniors housing to the Toronto Seniors Housing Corporation. 4. City Council direct the General Manager, Seniors Services and Long-term Care, to lead a review of the Seniors Health and Wellness model, including how hub sites are selected and make recommendations to Toronto Community Housing Corporation and Toronto Seniors Housing Corporation related to implementation. 5. City Council request the Toronto Community Housing Corporation, given feedback from senior tenants, to remove 145 Strathmore Boulevard from consideration as a hub site pending review of Seniors Health and Wellness model.
