Cancellation, Reduction, or Refund of Property Taxes - June 24, 2019 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 (COTA). 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 COTA, 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 upcoming meeting and the General Government and Licensing Committee's consideration of this staff report.
The General Government and Licensing Committee: 1. Approved the individual tax appeal applications made pursuant to Section 323 of the City of Toronto Act, 2006, resulting in tax reductions (excluding phase-in/capping amounts) outlined in the Detail Hearing Report marked as Appendix A to the report (June 10, 2019) from the Controller, excluding the following applications: Ward Number Appeal Number Property Address 2 20190032 681 Scarlett Road 3 20170331 40 Jackson Avenue 10 20190241 439 University Avenue 11 20190239 420 Yonge Street 16 20190238 1440 Don Mills Road 17 20190205 1900 Sheppard Avenue East 2.

Write-off of Uncollectible Property Taxes from the Tax Roll
This report recommends the write-off of property taxes for 88 receivable amounts relating to 27 individual property tax accounts for the taxation years 1998 to 2018. The receivable amounts 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 $1,856,352, consisting of taxes of $504,026 and interest/penalty of $1,352,326. 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 2018 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 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, including interest and penalties which have accrued on those unpaid taxes up to the time of the write-off, levied from 1998 to 2018 as uncollectible on the 88 receivables listed in Attachment 1 to the report (June 10, 2109) from the Controller and direct the Controller to remove these amounts from the tax roll.

2018 Consulting Services Expenditures - City Divisions and Agencies and Corporations
As requested by Council, this report provides information on the consulting services expenditures of City Divisions and Agencies and Corporations (A and Cs) for the year ended December 31, 2018. The report contains a summary and details, by category and vendor, of operating and capital consulting services expenditures for 2018, with 2017 comparatives. Overall, the City and its A and Cs spent $25.1 million on consulting services in 2018 for operating and capital combined, which represents an overall increase of $3.7 million (or 17.2 percent) compared to 2017. The overall increase in consulting expenditures consists of a $4.6 million (or 59.6 percent) increase within A and Cs, offset by a $1.0 million (or 7 percent) decrease within City Divisions. The increase is mainly due to Policing Effectiveness and Modernization initiatives at the Toronto Police Service and efficiency improvement studies related to the purchase of streetcars and buses at the Toronto Transit Commission, offset by the completion of a transportation organizational review, traffic congestion initiatives, and environmental assessment studies.
The General Government and Licensing Committee received the report (June 10, 2019) from the Controller for information.

GL6.7adopted
This report provides an update on the status of the merger of four pre-Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System (OMERS) pension funds with OMERS. The merger process is a technical and regulatory process, with approvals of pensioners and the Financial Services Commission of Ontario, as well as detailed work by City and OMERS staff. The York Fund has successfully merged with OMERS as of January 8, 2019 and it is anticipated that the three other funds will merge in either late 2019 or early 2020. In addition to pensioners receiving their existing pensions plus OMERS inflationary indexing, members of funds which have surpluses will also receive a share of the surplus, upon the wind-up of their fund. The City will also be receiving a share of surpluses, which will vary depending on fund earnings and other actuarial factors between now and the effective dates, but is anticipated at this time to be between $70 and $90 million.
The General Government and Licensing Committee recommends that: 1. City Council direct that the confidential information contained in Confidential Attachment 1 to the report (June 10, 2019) from the Controller remain confidential in its entirety, as it pertains to the security of property belonging to the City of Toronto.

GL6.8adopted
This report seeks authority to amend the By-law governing the Toronto Civic Employees' Pension Plan (Civic Plan) to implement the OMERS provision for annual CPI-linked inflation adjustments, immediately prior to the merger of the Civic Plan with the OMERS Plan under the Pension Transfer Agreement (PTA) between OMERS and the City. The PTA requires that the Civic Plan members, following a merger with the OMERS Plan, continue to be entitled to their existing benefits, with the exception that the current formula for conditional annual Post Retirement Adjustments will be replaced by the CPI-linked unconditional inflationary adjustment provided to all OMERS Plan pensioners. The City's experience with the transfer of the York Plan indicates that the Superintendent of Financial Services' (the Superintendent) consent will be conditional upon the indexing amendment to the Plan first being made.
The General Government and Licensing Committee recommends that: 1. City Council approve an amendment to Schedule A attached to By-law 100-2018 governing the Toronto Civic Employees' Pension Plan (the Plan) to: a. strike out the existing precondition and formula for conditional annual post retirement adjustments for pensioner benefits in Sections 14B(3a) and 14B(3b) of the Plan and replace it with the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System (OMERS) Plan provision for annual unconditional Consumer Price Index-linked inflation adjustments; and b. make such other amendments as may be required to facilitate the merger and transfer of assets.

This report submits, for the General Government and Licensing Committee's information, a Funding Valuation as at December 31, 2018 on the Toronto Fire Department Superannuation and Benefit Fund (the Fund) prepared by Buck HR Consulting. The Fund finances the Pension Plan (the Plan). This valuation provides information on the automatic cost-of-living increase of 2.30 percent in pensioner benefits effective January 1, 2019 called for under By-Law 10649, as amended, governing the Plan and the Fund. At its meeting of May 2, 2019, the Toronto Fire Department Superannuation and Benefit Fund Committee (Benefit Fund Committee) decided in favour of continuing to use existing assumptions to assess the future liability of the spouses of retired members, despite the fact that City staff had compiled actual data regarding these same spouses. Had the actual spousal data been used, the Going Concern and Solvency liabilities would have increased to a point where only an automatic 0.35 percent cost-of-living increase could have been granted, as any additional increase would have put the Plan into a Solvency deficit. The Fire Pension Plan, similar to the Civic Plan, but unlike the Metro and Police Plans, has specific criteria in its By-law which, if satisfied, grants members an automatic cost-of-living increase assuming an appropriate valuation and, therefore, Council is not required to approve it. On May 1, 2018, new provincial funding rules for defined benefit pension plans came into effect which are incorporated into the 2018 Valuation Report, which sets forth the financial position of the Fund for the year ended December 31, 2018 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, 2018 and December 31, 2017 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, 2018 December 31, 2017 Assets $206.1 $217.5 Liabilities $179.6 $191.7 Surplus/(Deficit) $26.5 $25.8 Solvency Valuation - This type of valuation assumes that the Plan was wound up on the valuation date (i.e., December 31, 2018) and the assets used, to the extent necessary, to meet existing liabilities, including the purchase of annuities for the pensioners and any unretired members. Table 2 - Solvency Valuation ($ millions) December 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 Assets $197.7 $222.8 Liabilities $186.3 $202.8 Surplus/(Deficit) $11.4 $20 Valuation is being filed with FSCO Valuation was filed with FSCO
The General Government and Licensing Committee received the report (June 10, 2019) from the Controller for information, including Attachment 1, titled Toronto Fire Department Superannuation and Benefit Fund Actuarial Valuation Report as of December 31, 2018 (May 2019), prepared by Buck HR Consulting with respect to the Toronto Fire Department Superannuation and Benefit Fund and its underlying Plan.

GL6.10adopted
This report seeks authority to amend the By-law governing the Metropolitan Toronto Police Benefit Fund (Police Plan) to add the OMERS provision for annual CPI-linked inflation adjustments, immediately prior to the merger of the Police Plan with the OMERS Plan under the Pension Transfer Agreement (PTA) between OMERS and the City. The PTA requires that the Police Plan members, following a merger with the OMERS Plan, continue to be entitled to their existing benefits, with the exception that they will become entitled to the CPI-linked unconditional inflationary annual adjustment as is provided to all OMERS Plan pensioners. The Police Plan does not currently contain an indexing provision per se. All historical increases have been ad hoc amendments to the By-law under specified conditions. The City's experience with the transfer of the York Plan indicates that the Superintendent of Financial Services' (the Superintendent) consent will be conditional upon the indexing amendment to the Plan first being made.
The General Government and Licensing Committee recommends that: 1. City Council approve an amendment to By-law 116-2018, as amended, governing the Metropolitan Toronto Police Benefit Fund (the Plan) to: a. add the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System (OMERS) Plan provision for annual unconditional Consumer Price Index-linked inflation adjustments; and b. make such other amendments as may be required to facilitate the merger and transfer of assets.

The Corporation of the City of York Employee Pension Plan - Surplus Distribution
This report seeks authority to amend the By-law governing The Corporation of the City of York Employee Pension Plan (York Plan) to provide for surplus distribution to the members of the Plan in accordance with Council's previous decision.
The General Government and Licensing Committee recommends that: 1. City Council approve an amendment to Schedule A attached to By-law 1428-2017, as amended, governing The Corporation of the City of York Employee Pension Plan (the Plan) to: a. amend Section 17.06, Surplus upon Termination, by deleting the words "to the Corporation or any Participating Employer" and replacing it with the words "to the members of the Plan" so that the amended section reads as follows: Subject to terms of participation by Participating Employers, upon discontinuance of the Plan, in whole or in part, any assets of the Fund (or the appropriate portion of the Fund in the case of a partial discontinuance) in excess of those required to discharge all liability for accrued benefits shall be paid to the members of the Plan.

Application for Approval to Expropriate - 39 Commissioners Street
This report seeks authority for the City of Toronto to initiate expropriation proceedings for 39 Commissioners Street in connection with the Port Lands Flood Protection project (PLFP). The PLFP project is a $1.25 billion infrastructure investment by the three levels of government that will provide flood protection to the level of the regulatory storm event (the equivalent of Hurricane Hazel) for the Port Lands and South of Eastern Avenue areas. Led by Waterfront Toronto, but funded by the City, the Province of Ontario, and the Government of Canada, PLFP construction is underway with a targeted completion date in 2024. As part of PLFP, Commissioners Street needs to be raised, reconstructed, and expanded south of its current alignment to accommodate future vehicular, transit, cycling, pedestrian, and servicing infrastructure. The repositioning of Commissioners Street was approved as part of the 2014 Lower Don Lands Environmental Assessment Master Plan Addendum and Environmental Study Report. The approved alignment will require the right-of-way to traverse 39 Commissioners Street, a privately-held property. For the past year, Waterfront Toronto has been in ongoing negotiations for a land exchange/acquisition of 39 Commissioners Street from the existing landowner and their tenant. Negotiations are still ongoing, however, if a resolution is not achieved in the near term, construction timelines for PLFP will be adversely impacted. Waterfront Toronto has accordingly requested that the Waterfront Expropriation Protocol be utilized by submitting a Property Expropriation Request Form and relevant documentation to the City of Toronto.
The General Government and Licensing Committee recommends that: 1. City Council authorize the Director, Real Estate Services, to initiate expropriation proceedings, if necessary, to acquire the property municipally known as 39 Commissioners Street, legally described in Appendix A and approximately shown in Appendix B to the report (June 10, 2019) from the Acting Director, Real Estate Services. 2.

This report seeks Council authority to enter into a land exchange with the Toronto District School Board (the TDSB) for the exchange of fee simple interest of the property located at 200 Poplar Road, known as Sir Robert L. Borden Business and Technical Institute, in exchange for stratified ownership at the future City of Toronto (the City) mixed-use development site located at 770 Don Mills Road as part of Mayor John Tory's Housing Now Initiative. This proposed transaction will alleviate the TDSB's current student capacity issue in this area by allowing it to construct and take stratified title to a new elementary school in the City's redevelopment site at 770 Don Mills Road, along with creating new open space as the outdoor play area for the students attending the new school. In exchange, the City will obtain the fee simple interest in the TDSB-owned 11.93-acre site, formerly Sir Robert L. Borden Business and Technical Institute, known municipally as 200 Poplar Road, Scarborough, Ontario, M1E 1Z7, which will be used to create a community hub servicing the needs of the local community along with allowing the City to explore city-building opportunities with other City-owned properties nearby. The terms for completing the transaction are considered to be fair, reasonable, and reflective of market value.
The General Government and Licensing Committee recommends that: 1.

The purpose of this report is to seek authority to amend Non-Competitive Contract Number 47015908 issued to the YMCA of Greater Toronto for the exclusive catering services at Metro Hall (55 John Street) by an additional amount of $50,000 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($50,880 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), revising the current contract value from $500,000 to $550,000 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($559,680 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries). In 2009, the City of Toronto executed a lease agreement with the YMCA of Greater Toronto (YMCA) for portions of the basement, ground, and third floors of Metro Hall (55 John Street). The lease agreement contained a provision that designated the YMCA as the exclusive provider of catering services within Metro Hall, subject to a few exceptions. The original lease agreement expired in 2014, but was subsequently renewed for an additional five-year term; accordingly, the current lease agreement expires on December 31, 2019 with no option to renew. To fulfil the terms of the lease, the City entered into a non-competitive contract for $500,000 with the YMCA for the exclusive catering services within Metro Hall. City divisions have used this contract to obtain catering services for events held within Metro Hall. Attachment 1 provides a breakdown of divisional spending against this contract by 31 divisions since it was established in May 2011. As of May 22, 2019, total spending against the contract totalled $470,009, with annual spending averaging approximately $60,000. To ensure that the City can continue to meet its contractual obligations with respect to the YMCA's exclusive catering rights, a contract amendment is required to ensure sufficient contract authority remains available for the duration of the current lease agreement. A new contract for catering services will be obtained (if required), pending the execution of a new lease agreement.

Increase in Penalty Amounts for Stopping and Parking Violations
This report responds to a request from the General Government and Licensing Committee to review the administrative penalty amounts (penalty amounts) for stopping and parking violations that typically occur near schools, creating localized traffic congestion and safety concerns for parents and students. Parking violation notices issued through the City of Toronto's Administrative Penalty System are meant to promote greater compliance with the City's Parking By-laws. A number of factors may be considered when reviewing penalty amounts for stopping and parking violations. These include comparable violations, the impact of non-compliance, and penalty amounts in other jurisdictions. The penalty amounts discussed in this report are related to the most common stopping and parking violations that take place near schools. The proposed changes are based on existing penalty amounts for comparable violations that similarly address traffic congestion and road safety concerns, particularly for vulnerable road users. All penalty increases are proposed to come into effect at the beginning of the 2019-2020 school year on September 3, 2019. The proposed changes are as follows: - Increase the penalties from $60 to $100 for violations taking place at any prohibited time of day for the following offences: - stopping a motor vehicle in a school bus loading zone; and - stopping a motor vehicle within nine metres of a school crossing. - Increase the penalties from $60 to $100 for violations taking place outside of rush hour periods for the following offences: - stopping a motor vehicle during a prohibited time; and - standing a motor vehicle during a prohibited time. - Introduce a new offence for stopping a motor vehicle on the boulevard and an associated penalty of $150.
The General Government and Licensing Committee recommends that: 1. City Council increase the penalty amount from $60 to $100 for the "Stop - Non-School Bus in School Bus Loading Zone" offence in Section 950-400B(10) of the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 950 (Traffic and Parking), with an implementation date of September 3, 2019. 2. City Council increase the penalty amount from $60 to $100 for the "Stop - Within 9 Metres of School Crossing" offence in Section 950-400B(11) of the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 950 (Traffic and Parking), with an implementation date of September 3, 2019. 3. City Council increase the penalty amount from $60 to $100 for the "Stop - Signed Highway - During Prohibited (Times/Days)" offence in Section 950-405D of the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 950 (Traffic and Parking), with an implementation date of September 3, 2019. 4. City Council increase the penalty amount from $60 to $100 for the "Stand Vehicle - Signed Highway During Prohibited (Times/Days)" offence in Section 950-405G of the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 950 (Traffic and Parking), with an implementation date of September 3, 2019. 5. City Council amend the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 950 (Traffic and Parking) to establish a new offence in Section 950-400B(1.1) for stopping any vehicle on or over a boulevard unless stopping is authorized under any other City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter or By-law and establish an associated penalty amount of $150, with an implementation date of September 3, 2019. 6. City Council amend the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 610 (Penalties, Administration of) and the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 950 (Traffic and Parking), generally as outlined in Attachment 1 to the report (June 10, 2019) from the General Manager, Transportation Services. 7. City Council increase the penalty amount from $60 to $100 for the "Stand Vehicle - Passenger Loading Zone - Contrary to Permitted (Times/Days)" offence in Section 950-402A(3) of the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 950 (Traffic and Parking), with an implementation date of September 3, 2019, and amend the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 610 (Penalties, Administration of) accordingly. 8. City Council increase the penalty amount from $60 to $100 for the "Stand Vehicle - Passenger Loading Zone - Not Actively Engaged in Loading/Unloading Passengers" offence in Section 950-402A(3) of the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 950 (Traffic and Parking), with an implementation date of September 3, 2019, and amend the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 610 (Penalties, Administration of) accordingly.
