In addition, City Council's authority is requested to amend Toronto Water's Approved 2022 Capital Budget and 2023-2031 Capital Plan by converting already approved future year cost estimates and increasing project costs and cashflow commitments in order to support the engineering services required for the delivery of planned 2024-2026 Watermain, Sewer and Water Service Replacement projects, scheduled to be awarded ahead of schedule in late 2022.
The Executive Committee recommends that: 1. City Council authorize the reallocation of cashflows within Toronto Water's approved 2022 Capital Budget and 2023-2031 Capital Plan in the amount of $23.798 million, for acceleration and deferral of projects, as presented in Schedule A (Part A and B) to the report (June 9, 2022) from the General Manager, Toronto Water, with a zero Budget impact. 2. City Council authorize the reallocation of project costs and cashflows in Toronto Water's Approved 2022 Capital Budget and 2023-2031 Capital Plan in the amount of $28.915 million from projects that have been awarded under budget or completed to those requiring additional funding in the same amount as presented in Schedule A (Part C) to the report (June 9, 2022) from the General Manager, Toronto Water, with a zero Budget impact. 3. City Council amend the 2022-2031 Capital Budget and Plan for Toronto Water by converting previously approved future estimates for the 10 Year Engineering Project and increasing total project costs by $69.750 million in 2022 and cash flow commitments by $7.750 million, $18.000 million, $18.000 million, $18.000 million, $2.500 million and $1.500 million in 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027 and 2028 respectively, funded by Toronto Water Capital Financing Reserve Funds for Water and Wastewater ($69.750 million) as presented in Schedule A, Part D to the report (June 9, 2022) from the General Manager, Toronto Water.

Improving Accessibility in Construction Zones
Construction in the public right-of-way has significant impacts on the experience of pedestrians and people with disabilities are disproportionately impacted by obstruction of sidewalks, pedestrian crossings and unclear routes through construction areas. Feedback from people with disabilities demonstrates barriers to mobility are frequently found in areas with construction activities. The Executive Committee requested this Report on the tools and strategies the City currently uses to ensure accessibility in the public realm surrounding private development as well as capital City projects. The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) legislates that accessible routes must be provided when sidewalks are disrupted; this is the responsibility of all constructors in the City and is reiterated in construction contracts and Street Occupation Permits. Other standards and guidelines at the provincial and city level, provide further detail about how AODA requirements can and must be met in construction zones. A permit from Transportation Services must be obtained by any constructor that plans to disrupt the public right-of-way, whether the work is on behalf of the City, Metrolinx, utility companies or private developers. A Traffic Control Plan is required with permit applications and must be approved prior to start of construction. Methods of permit oversight and enforcement vary, depending on type of construction. It is not possible to proactively inspect every project but the City has and will continue to take measures to improve the quality and consistency of outcomes for pedestrians with disabilities. A range of improvement measures have been undertaken in recent months. For example, Engineering & Construction Services which delivers most of the municipal capital works within the municipal right-of-way on behalf of other City Divisions and the TTC has recently provided training to nearly 250 staff including inspectors, engineers, project managers, is undertaken independent site audits and enhancing project-specific contract requirements for accessibility. Work planned for the coming months by ECS, Transportation Services and Toronto Water includes further training, review and updating of standards and guidelines, consultation with stakeholders in the construction industry, and community surveys of people with disabilities to gain deeper understanding of barriers.
The Executive Committee: 1. Directed the General Manager, Transportation Services, and the Chief Engineer and Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services to report to the Toronto Accessibility Advisory Committee in the third quarter of 2023 with a progress update on preserving accessibility in construction zones, including the following: a. a detailed summary of consultation activities undertaken and feedback received from individuals and organizations in the accessibility community regarding barriers posed by construction zones on city sidewalks; b. a detailed summary of outreach and education activities undertaken, and planned for later in 2023, with the construction industry regarding the preservation of accessibility in construction zones; c. the results of the review of the City's Standards for Designing and Constructing City Infrastructure, specifically the TS1.00 Construction Specifications for Maintenance of Traffic; and d. the status of implementing the proposed improvements as outlined in the presentation from City Staff to the Toronto Accessibility Advisory Committee on June 13, 2022.

Arena Boards of Management Settlement of Operating Results for the Year Ended 2020
On an annual basis, the City of Toronto receives the audited financial statements from eight Arena Boards of Management (Arenas). The audited financial statements allow the City to determine whether additional operating subsidy payments need to be provided to or clawed back from the Arenas to settle their operating deficits or surpluses. City staff report annually on the Arenas' operating surpluses and deficits once the respective Boards financial statements have been audited and approved by Council. This report recommends the settlement of seven of the Arenas' operating surpluses and deficits for 2020 based on their audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, with operating surpluses payable to the City and operating deficits funded by the City upon Council's approval. At the time of preparation of this report, the 2019 and 2020 audited financial statements for Leaside Memorial Community Gardens Arena remain in progress and therefore the settlement for this outstanding Arena will be presented in a future report for consideration and approval purposes. While normally the prior year end settlement reports for both Association of Community Centres and Arena Boards are submitted together to Council in the following year, the 2020 settlement reports were delayed due to delays in completing the 2020 audits, and further delayed by the impact of COVID-19 on the City's 2021 priorities. City staff will present the 2021 Settlement Reports at the first opportunity to the new term of City Council for consideration and approval.
The Executive Committee recommends that: 1. City Council direct that the 2020 operating surpluses totalling $50,669 from Moss Park Arena be paid to the City of Toronto and be used, in part, to fund the cumulative operating deficit of $682,634 for six Arenas (George Bell, William H. Bolton, Forest Hill Memorial, McCormick, North Toronto Memorial and Ted Reeve), resulting in a net operating deficit of $631,965 to be funded by the City, as illustrated in Appendix A, column (g), to the report (June 9, 2022) from the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. 2. City Council direct that a funding provision of $631,965 be made through the 2021 Year-End Operating Variance Report, as shown in Appendix A - 2020 Program Summary, attached the report (June 9, 2022) from the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer

Association of Community Centres Settlement of Operating Results for Year Ended 2020
On an annual basis, the City of Toronto receives the audited financial statements from 10 Association of Community Centres (AOCCs). The audited financial statements allow the City to determine whether additional operating subsidy payments need to be provided to or clawed back from the AOCCs to settle their operating deficits or surpluses.

Ontario Good Roads Summary Annual General Conference and Meeting
As one of two appointees to the Board of Directors of Good Roads, representing the City of Toronto, I would like to present the following summary of the Annual General Conference and Meeting. To those not familiar with Good Roads, it is a municipal association concerned with the advancement of roads and other infrastructure in Ontario. Based in Oakville, Ontario, they have been devoted to the cause of better roads since 1894. Originally known as the Ontario Good Roads Association (and still using this name corporately), they have more than 450 member governments, including most of Ontario's municipalities and a growing number of First Nations, as well as dozens of affiliated corporate members in the transportation and infrastructure sectors. Their purpose, in part, is to connect members to each other, to other levels of government, and to relevant companies in the private sector. Members look to Good Roads for training, knowledge, political advocacy, and answers to their most pressing problems. Good Roads is resolutely independent. Four key goals for the upcoming year were established by membership at the conference: 1. Gas Tax Good Roads is undertaking a study which will examine the future of the Gas Tax. The modality shift toward active transportation, economic populism and increasing consumer preference for hybrid and electric vehicles are all having an impact on this fiscal lever. The federal government's decision to phase out gasoline and diesel-powered light-duty vehicles by 2035 will have a further profound impact on the Gas Tax revenues. At the provincial level, funds derived from the Gas Tax are directed toward municipally managed transit systems. 2. Road condition assessment for asset management planning using drones Good Roads is working with researchers at Fanshawe College in London, Ontario to test the viability of using drones to perform road condition assessments. The upside of this innovation would help provide the requisite data needed to build out asset management plans but would allow municipalities to do it in a cost-effective, environmentally responsible and safe manner. 3. Vision Zero Good Roads continues to advocate for the adoption of a province-wide Vision Zero program. As a first step, Good Roads has asked the Minister of Transportation to convene an Ministerial Advisory Committee to make recommendations about what would need to be accomplished to realize the full range of benefits associated with having a robust Vision Zero regime put in place in Ontario. 4. Development of Online training options Good Roads is working with Waterloo-based online training industry leader D2L to convert 10 of their most popular courses into online training offerings. This initiative will allow municipal staff from across Ontario to access this highly regarded training regardless of where they may be in Ontario. It will also allow students to overcome cost and excess time away from the office. Initiatives like this are critical for municipalities and their staff members. This training is needed local governments prepare to provide the levels of service and asset performance that Ontarians expect. At the 2022 Good Roads Conference, the membership of Ontario's oldest municipal association elected a record number of women to its Board of Directors. For the first time in its history, one-third of the Directors are women. More than 1,500 professionals attended the conference which was held in Toronto from April 10 - 13, 2022. The Good Roads 2022-2023 Board of Directors includes: - Paul Schoppmann, President, and Mayor, Municipality of St. Charles - John Parsons, First Vice-President and Division Manager, Road Operations and Forestry, City of London - Bryan Lewis, Second Vice-President and Councillor, Town of Halton Hills - Antoine Boucher, Director of Public Works and Engineering, Municipality of East Ferris, Third Vice-President - Dave Burton, Immediate Past President and Mayor, Municipality of Highlands East - Melissa Abercrombie, Manager, Engineering Services, Oxford County - Paul Ainslie, Councillor, City of Toronto - Chris Angelo, Director of Public Works & Environmental Services, City of Quinte West - David Armstrong, Manager of Public Works, Town of Gananoque - Nazzareno Capano, Manager of Transportation Policy and Innovation, City of Toronto - Aakash Desai, Deputy Mayor, Municipality of Grey Highlands - Kelly Elliott, Deputy Mayor, Municipality of Thames Centre - Cheryl Fort, Mayor, Township of Hornepayne - Donna Jebb, Councillor, Town of New Tecumseth - Kristin Murray, Councillor, City of Timmins

During every term of City Council several Councillor seats are vacated. These positions are filled by a by-election or an appointment made by Council. The City of Toronto Act outlines the process for filling vacancies, by either requiring a by-election, or by appointing a qualified person. By-elections cannot be held after March 31 in the year of a general election. Section 208, subsection 3, paragraph 3 of the City of Toronto Act currently states that if a vacancy occurs within 90 days before voting day of a regular election, the City is not required to fill the vacancy. I asked the City Clerk's Office to help determine how this process may be improved. As a result of these discussions, I am putting this motion forward to request the Province of Ontario to amend the City of Toronto Act so that if a City Council vacancy occurs after March 31 in the year of a regular election, the City is not required to fill the vacancy. Residents of Toronto should decide who acts on their behalf at City Council. By-elections are the ideal method of choosing a new Councillor. Only when absolutely necessary should Council decide to appoint individuals to a City Councillor position such as when there are multiple vacancies and there is a need to ensure quorum and functionality of our committees, boards, and Council, etc. Council should, however, make certain that the regular day to day operations of a Ward Office continue when its Council seat is vacant. In 2018 (EX35.20), this Council authorized the City Clerk to provide administrative management of a vacant Council Member office including, but not limited to, purchasing and staffing matters. The staff will be responsible for the operations of the Ward Office and will assure that constituents are being served.
The Executive Committee recommends that: 1. City Council request the Province of Ontario to amend the City of Toronto Act, 2006 so that if a City Council vacancy occurs after March 31 in the year of a regular election, the City is not required to fill the vacancy.
