Municipal Law Enforcement Officers

in the Former City of Etobicoke

The Etobicoke Community Council recommends that:

(1)the following staff of the Parks and Recreation Division, West District, be sworn in as Municipal Law Enforcement Officers:

(a)Mr. Harald Zorn, Parks Supervisor; and

(b)Mr. Milton Pastor, Park Patrol; and

(2)the necessary by-law be enacted.

The Etobicoke Community Council submits the following report (August 24, 1999) from the Commissioner, Economic Development, Culture and Tourism:

Purpose:

To arrange for Mr. Harald Zorn, Parks Supervisor, and Mr. Milton Pastor, Park Patrol, of the Parks and Recreation Division, West District, to be sworn in as Municipal Law Enforcement Officers.

Source of Funds:

None required.

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the appropriate City officials be authorized and directed to take the necessary action to give effect thereto.

Background:

Currently, the Parks and Recreation Division, West District, has one Municipal Law Enforcement Officer. There is too much responsibility put on one particular individual which results in additional overtime to be paid out. Adding two more officers would result in better enforcement of municipal by-laws as they relate to the Parks and Recreation Division.

Conclusion:

The swearing in of two additional Municipal Law Enforcement Officers will allow the West District, Parks and Recreation Division, to deal with issues in a more timely and efficient manner.
