Cancellation, Reduction or Refund of Property Taxes - June 29, 2021 Hearing
This report deals with tax appeal applications made to the Treasurer pursuant to Sections 323 and 325 of the City of Toronto Act, 2006. Section 323 permits Council to cancel, reduce or refund taxes in cases when, during the year, a property undergoes changes such as when it is destroyed by fire or demolished, becomes exempt from taxation, or is reclassified due to a change in use. Under Section 325 of the City of Toronto Act, 2006, taxpayers can request a cancellation, reduction or refund of taxes when an error in the assessment roll is identified which results in an overcharge. The legislation requires Council to make its decision after holding a public meeting at which the applicants and/or property owners may express any concerns. Council has delegated authority to hear and make final decisions in respect of these matters to the General Government and Licensing Committee. Staff have mailed Notices of Hearing to affected taxpayers advising of the General Government and Licensing Committee's upcoming meeting and consideration of this staff report.

Write-off of Uncollectible Property Taxes from the Tax Roll
This report recommends the write-off of property taxes deemed uncollectible for 11 individual property tax accounts (comprising 75 separate receivable amounts) relating to taxation years 1998 to 2020. The receivable amounts recommended for write-off relate to property tax accounts that are no longer returned on the assessment roll, making collection efforts and recovery of outstanding amounts impossible. The total estimated amount to be written off is $99,753, consisting of taxes of $33,736 and interest/penalty of $66,017. All reasonable and appropriate collection efforts have been exhausted. It is recommended that the property taxes, interest and fees that have accumulated over the period 1998 to 2020 be deemed uncollectible and written off. The write-off of these amounts will have no impact on the current year's budget, as these amounts have all been previously provided for in the Allowance for Doubtful Tax Receivables Account in prior years.
The General Government and Licensing Committee recommends that: 1. City Council deem the unpaid property taxes levied in all years (including interest and penalties which have accrued on those unpaid taxes up to the time of write-off) on the 75 receivables listed in Attachment 1 to the report (June 15, 2021) from the Controller as uncollectible, and direct the Controller to remove these amounts from the tax roll.

2020 Annual Report from the Controller
This report provides a summary of the key activities, initiatives, and performance indicators for the Accounting Services and Purchasing and Materials Management Divisions for the year ending December 31, 2020, with prior year comparatives, where applicable. This report includes: - Activities of Accounting Services Division including invoice payments; - Consulting services expenditures for City Divisions and Agencies and Corporations including details by category and vendor; - Activities of Purchasing and Materials Management Division including competitive purchasing activity; cycle times; Purchasing and Materials Management Division stores and other procurement information; - A summary of non-competitive purchasing activity valued at $3,000 and above for City Divisions, excluding purchases completed through Schedule A of Chapter 71, Financial Control and Accountability Offices; and - A response to City Council's request dated December 16, 2020 from GL19.2 to report back to General Government and Licensing Committee on the use of contract extensions up to $500,000, with particular attention to its use more than once on the same contract. The City's use of external consulting services varies by year and project. Consulting services supplement critical skill sets and expertise that are needed just-in-time and/or are not available within existing staff complements, as well as enable the City to quickly complete special projects or essential initiatives, or respond to emergency situations while maintaining existing service levels. The City obtains external consulting services through a formal procurement process to ensure that individuals and/or organizations with relevant expertise are selected. In addition, expenditures have been budgeted as part of fiscal 2020. Overall, the City of Toronto and its A&Cs spent $40.1 million on consulting services in 2020 for operating and capital combined, which represents less than 1 percent of the City's total consolidated expenditures. Notable expenditures in 2020 include: - The City's one-time operating investment to support enterprise-wide transformations, particularly aimed at improving the effectiveness of procurement and sourcing practices and budget modernization. These initiatives resulted in savings in excess of $41.0 million since the start of these initiatives in 2019. Additional benefits of $110 million are anticipated over a 17-month period in future fiscal periods; - The City's partnership to improve mental well-being of all Torontonians (THRIVE Toronto); - Capital initiatives associated with financial sustainability and environment assessments; - Toronto Community Housing Corporation's replacement of end-of-life information technology infrastructure - Toronto Transit Commission's review of its new streetcars and subway assets. COVID-19 had a significant and meaningful impact on operations, resulting in unique circumstances in 2020 due to the City's response and recovery efforts. For example, the City experienced increased consulting operating expenditures associated with the Toronto Office of Recovery and Rebuild; CaféTO; and other COVID-19 recovery strategies. Similarly, Purchasing and Materials Management Division experienced a reduced number of competitive solicitations issued and the increased solicitation cycle time which can be attributed the focus of both Divisions and Purchasing and Materials Management Division on responding to the pandemic. The value of 2020 non-competitive procurement was $252.3 million which represents 11% of total purchasing activity in 2020, as compared to 2019 which experienced $119.7 million in non-competitive procurement (4 percent of total purchasing activity in 2019). The number of non-competitive procurements issued in 2020 was 918 which is an increase of 62.2 percent over 2019. These increases are directly attributable to the City's response to COVID-19 where the City was required to enter into an additional 160 emergency procurements and a 146 non-competitive procurements on the basis of scarcity in the marketplace when procuring personal protective equipment. In addition, demands on Purchasing and Materials Management Division and Divisions led to an increased number of non-competitive bridge contracts and time constraint contracts that were needed to ensure services continued. Without the pandemic, the City's use of non-competitive procurement in 2020 would have been comparable to 2019.

We are reporting on years 2019 and 2020 together as a result of the COVID 19 pandemic.

This report submits, for the Committee's information, a Funding Valuation as at December 31, 2020 on the Toronto Fire Department Superannuation and Benefit Fund (the Fund) prepared by Buck HR Consulting (Buck). The Fund finances the pension plan (the Plan). This valuation provides information on the automatic cost-of-living increase of 0.74 percent in pensioner benefits effective January 1, 2021, called for under By-Law 10649 as amended, governing the Plan and the Fund. The Fire Pension Plan has specific criteria in its By-law which, if satisfied, grants members an automatic cost-of-living increase, and therefore Council is not required to approve the increase. So long as sufficient surpluses exist on both a Going Concern and Solvency basis, members are entitled to an increase comprised of the lesser of (a) The Plan's 5-year average rate of return less the discount rate used for the current year's Solvency valuation; (b) the increase in the year-over-year level of the average Consumer Price Index as published by Statistics Canada. In this case, the second criterion is the lesser of the two, and hence members are entitled to an automatic increase of 0.74 percent. . The provincial funding rules for defined-benefit pension plans which came into effect on May 1, 2018 are incorporated into the 2020 Valuation Report, which sets forth the financial position of the Fund for the year ended December 31, 2020 on Going Concern and Solvency bases, and confirms that the Fund does not require any special payments by the City of Toronto. The Charts below summarize the financial position of the Fund as at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 based on the Actuarial Valuations for those years. Going Concern Valuation - This type of valuation assumes that the Plan will continue to operate until all pensions are paid out. Table 1 - Going Concern Valuation ($ millions) December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Assets $200.1 $197.5 Liabilities $175.7 $180.5 Surplus / (Deficit) $24.4 $17.0 Solvency Valuation - This type of valuation assumes that the Plan was wound up on the valuation date (i.e., December 31st, 2020) and the assets used, to the extent necessary, to meet existing liabilities including the purchase of annuities for the pensioners and any unretired members. Table 2 - Solvency Valuation ($ millions) December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Assets $199.9 $202.0 Liabilities $181.8 $187.2 Surplus / (Deficit) $18.1 $14.8

This purchase will assist Toronto Fire Services ensure the division's operational readiness to respond to emergency and critical incidents throughout Toronto, specifically with elevated water application and rescue incidents. The 105 foot rear-mounted aerial apparatus is a standard tandem axle hydraulically operated ladder device used for municipal firefighting and emergency responses. Toronto Fire Services currently utilizes thirty five (35) Spartan/Smeal aerial apparatus in front line and spare functions. Toronto Fire Services is seeking a non-competitive contract for these apparatus for a number of reasons, with the main reason being to match with the existing unit inventory. Purchasing an apparatus model that matches existing in-service units will significantly reduce staff training requirements for both operational firefighters qualified to use the equipment, and Mechanical Division staff already trained to maintain them. Toronto Fire Services already stock proprietary repair parts for this product. Additionally, this brand has a local dealer/repair facility, which means warranty service and parts necessary for repairs or replacement are easier to access. This report also seeks to inform City Council of two emergency non-competitive contracts that Toronto Fire Services has entered into for the purchase of two separate Aerial units for the combined amount of $2,863,933 net of Harmonized Sales Tax ($2,914,338 net of Harmonized Sales Tax Recoveries).

Toronto Fire Services significantly lacks aerial units due to frame corrosion issues, supply chain problems (reflecting delays in an existing order due to COVID), the long lead time for this type of purchase, and recent accident damage. Purchasing the quint aerial demonstrator units, which have already been built, will help bridge the gap between ordering these trucks and actual delivery, keeping these units in place for emergency response. In order to ensure that Toronto Fire Services could meet the vehicle demand required to respond to emergencies, Toronto Fire Services needed to purchase two separate demonstrator model aerial trucks ahead of the longer term contract, which is recommended in this report. Section 195-7.4B of Chapter 195, Purchasing By-Law, which requires that any emergency, non-competitive bid over $500,000 be reported to Council for information.
The General Government and Licensing Committee recommends that: 1.

Expropriation of a Portion of 350 Progress Avenue for Toronto Paramedic Services Station Access
The purpose of this report is to seek authority from City Council ("Council") to commence expropriation proceedings to acquire a fee simple interest in the portion of the property municipally known as 350 Progress Avenue (the "Property"), for the purpose of providing a primary access route and site services via Schick Court to the new Toronto Paramedic Services multi-function station to be located at 330 Progress Avenue in Scarborough. This is the first stage of the expropriation process. After application for approval to expropriate the Property is authorized by Council, as the Approving Authority under the Expropriations Act (the "Act"), staff will serve and publish a Notice of Application for Approval to Expropriate on each registered owner of the Property. Owners, as defined in the Act, will have 30 days to request an inquiry into whether the City's proposed taking is fair, sound and reasonably necessary. If no inquiry is requested, Council may approve the expropriation through a subsequent Stage 2 Report. At that time, staff will report to Council with further details on the anticipated costs, based on appraisals. Following the Stage 2 Report, an Expropriation Plan will be registered and Notices of Expropriation will be served on the appropriate parties. Statutory offers for compensation must be served before the City can take possession of the expropriated Property.
The General Government and Licensing Committee recommends that: 1. City Council authorize the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management, or their designate, to continue negotiations for the acquisition of the property interest as set out in Appendix A to the report (June 15, 2021) from the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management, and shown as Part 1 in sketch PS-2021-031 attached as Appendix B to the report (June 15, 2021) from the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management, (the "Property"), and as Approving Authority under the Expropriations Act, authorize the initiation of the expropriation process for the Property for the purpose of constructing a primary access route to 330 Progress Avenue as well as for providing site services including domestic water, sanitary, storm water, hydro, telecommunications and ancillary works for the new Toronto Paramedic Services multi-function station. 2. City Council direct the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management, or their designate, to serve and publish the Notices of Application for Approval to Expropriate the Property, to forward any requests for a hearing of necessity to the Chief Inquiry Officer, to attend any hearings to present the City of Toronto's position, and to report the Inquiry Officer's recommendations to City Council for its consideration.

This report responds to the request for the Chief Technology Officer to report back to the General Government and Licensing Committee on public and stakeholder consultations related to the development and procurement of digital infrastructure; and on a request to consult with appropriate stakeholders on the inclusion of a commitment to the City's control and autonomy of its core digital infrastructures. Digital autonomy is related to some key concepts that are already embedded within the Digital Infrastructure Plan including equity, democracy, transparency, and privacy. To-date, staff have developed a definition for digital autonomy that applies to the municipal government context; and have identified a range of issues that could position the City on a path towards achieving digital autonomy. These issues have been developed in collaboration with the City Clerk's Office and the Purchasing and Materials Management Division. This report provides an overview of these issues, along with an outline of the public consultation and stakeholder consultation path. The following engagement activities have taken place so far: - Participation in workshop coordinated by the Cities Coalition for Digital Rights; - Engagement with Open North, a non-profit organization that advises local government on technology and "smart city" issues; - Liaison with staff from other leading cities; and - Meeting with the Digital Infrastructure Plan Community Advisory Group. Further consultation and stakeholder engagement will take place over the summer, including a public meeting on June 21, 2021. Additional consultation, examining digital autonomy in the context of the Digital Infrastructure Plan, will take place in the third quarter 2021 with a further report back to the Executive Committee in the fourth quarter 2021.

This report responds to City Council's direction to engage with community sailing clubs and explore the opportunity to amend the existing lease agreements from fully net leases 1 to semi-gross leases 2 . It presents a proposed approach to implementing semi-gross leases and summarizes feedback from community sailing clubs on the proposed approach. Corporate Real Estate Management is prepared to engage with individual sailing clubs (referred to as "boat clubs") to explore and negotiate semi-gross leases with boat clubs expressing an interest in transitioning from fully net leases, and to report back as necessary to seek authority to execute new agreements. 1 In a fully net lease, the tenant is responsible for base rent and all additional costs such as maintenance, insurance, property taxes, utilities, etc. associated with the leased property. 2 In a semi-gross lease, the landlord is responsible for some of the additional costs such as maintenance, insurance, property taxes, utilities, etc. associated with the leased property.
The General Government and Licensing Committee recommends that: 1. City Council request the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management, to further engage with individual boat clubs to negotiate semi-gross leases with those boat clubs expressing an interest in proceeding. 2. City Council request the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management to report back to the General Government and Licensing Committee in the fourth quarter of 2021 with an update, or an earlier meeting seeking any authorization for lease amendments as required.

The purpose of this report is to seek City Council ("Council") authority to amend the terms of a below market rent lease agreement with Shining through Centre for Children with Autism (the "Tenant") for the property known as 305 Greenfield Avenue (the "Leased Premises"), as previously authorized by Council, to permit the Tenant to perform capital work on behalf of the City. A preliminary total cost estimate values the work at $3,000,000 (exclusive of Harmonized Sales Tax). Of that total value, $2,500,000 is attributed to Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act compliance work and $500,000 is attributed to State of Good Repair work (the "Work"). The subject amended lease term was inadvertently excluded from the recommendations in a previous report on this matter, and this report seeks to obtain Council authority to fund the Tenant for the Work.
The General Government and Licensing Committee recommends that: 1. City Council authorize the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management, to amend the terms of the below market rent lease between the Shining Through Centre for Children with Autism, as tenant, and the City of Toronto, as landlord, to permit the tenant to perform and fund the tenant in respect of State of Good Repair and Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act compliance work on behalf of the Landlord with a preliminary estimated value of $3,000,000, exclusive of Harmonized Sales Taxes, on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management, including compliance with the City's fair wage policies and labour trade contractual obligations, and in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor.
