February 17, 1998
TO: Striking Committee
FROM: City Clerk
SUBJECT: APPOINTMENT OF MEMBERS OF COUNCIL TO COMMITTEES
AND SPECIAL PURPOSE BODIES.
Purpose:
The purpose of this report is to provide Members of Council with a list of Members' preferences for appointment to Committees and Special Purpose Bodies, and to respond to previous requests by the Striking Committee and Council for further information relating to the appointment of Members of Council to certain Boards.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that the Striking Committee recommend to Council:
(1) the appointment of Members of Council to those Committees and Special Purpose Bodies outlined in Schedule 1, for a term of office expiring May 31, 1999, and until their successors are appointed, unless indicated otherwise, subject to the respective organizations providing appropriate indemnity insurance coverage to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor and the City Treasurer;
(2) the appointment of a Member of Council to the Etobicoke General Hospital Board, in accordance with the Hospital =s letter dated February 17, 1998; and
(3) that leave be granted for the introduction of the necessary Bills in Council to give effect thereto.
Background:
As noted in Clause No. 1 of Report No. 1 of The Striking Committee, headed AAppointment of Members of Council to Standing Committees, Other Committees and Task Forces, Special Purpose Bodies and Special Positions@, which was adopted, as amended, by City Council on January 2, 6, 8 and 9, 1998, the City Clerk was requested to:
(1) submit a report to the Striking Committee on:
(a) the possibility of appointing a second Member of Council to the Toronto East General Hospital Board of Directors;
(b) the possibility of appointing a fourth Member of Council to the Hockey Hall of Fame, Board of Directors; and
(c) those Hospital Boards which previously had representation from one of the former area municipal Councils and which are not included in the appointments being recommended, including Etobicoke General Hospital and Queensway General Hospital; and
(2) canvass Members of Council to determine those Agencies, Boards, Commissions or Special Purpose Bodies which had members appointed by the former area municipal Councils, in order that the City Clerk may determine whether such appointments are still required, including the Lester B. Pearson International Airport Community Consultation Committee.
Comments:
With respect to the possibility of appointing a second Member of Council to the Toronto East General Hospital Board of Directors, I have been advised that the Board will consider this at an Executive Meeting scheduled to be held on February 24, 1998, and will duly advise my office of the outcome.
With respect to the possibility of appointing a fourth Member of Council to the Hockey Hall of Fame, Board of Directors, the Hockey Hall of Fame has advised by letter dated February 2, 1998, that it will consider such request in due process and, accordingly, the City of Toronto =s nominations for election to the Board at the upcoming March 31, 1998 annual general meeting of the members will remain at three. The three members appointed by Council on January 2, 6, 8 and 9, 1998, are Councillor D. Holyday, as the Mayor=s representative, and Councillors J. Flint and C. Korwin-Kuczynski.
With respect to those Hospital Boards which previously had representation from one of the former area municipal Councils and which were not included in the appointments previously recommended, staff in my office contacted these hospitals and were advised that they did not wish any Council appointments at this time.
However, the Etobicoke General Hospital subsequently faxed to my office a letter dated February 17, 1998, indicating that, in accordance with its by-laws, the Hospital requires the appointment of one City Councillor.
As also requested by the Striking Committee, I forwarded a letter to all Members of Council dated January 16, 1998, requesting the name of any external organization which may require the appointment of a Member of Council. The attached Schedule 1 contains a list of each of these organizations, and contains a summary those preferences received from Members of Council as of today =s date.
City Clerk
