The Nominating Committee submits the following report (April 3, 1998) from Mayor Mel Lastman:

Recommendation:

It is recommended that Mr. Art Patrick be appointed as the labour representative of the City of Toronto on the Board of Directors of the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) for a four-year term of office commencing on the date of the Annual Meeting of the Members of the GTAA scheduled to be held on May 12, 1998, and expiring on the date of the Annual Meeting of the GTAA to be held in 2002, and/or until his successor is appointed.

Background:

The GTAA, which was recognized by the Minister or Transport in November 1994, is a not-for-profit corporation with a specialized function of operating airports in the region.

The Council of the former Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto previously accepted the proposed representation structure of the GTAA, which gave Metropolitan Toronto the opportunity to appoint three directors. Following previous discussions among the former Regional Chairpersons, it was agreed that Metro Toronto's third nominee would represent the interests of labour.

On March 8 and 9, 1995, the Council of the former Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto appointed a labour representative to the Board of Directors of the GTAA for a three-year term. The GTAA has subsequently advised that future appointments are to be for a four-year term with a maximum of eight years.

This report recommends the appointment of such labour representative on the GTAA Board of Directors for a four-year term.
