The revised 1999-2000 schedule of meetings that encompasses the new Council-Committee Structure was adopted, as amended, by City Council at its meeting held on April 13, 14 and 15, 1999. This revised schedule of meetings commences on June 14, 1999.

The Striking Committee also submits the following transmittal letter (April 8, 1999) from the City Clerk:

Recommendation:

The Board of Directors of the Hummingbird Centre for the Performing Arts, on April 7, 1999, unanimously recommended to the Striking Committee, and Council, that the terms of office of those Members of Council currently serving on the Board, be extended until the present Board is replaced by the new Hummingbird Performing Arts Centre Corporation Board, established under the Hummingbird Performing Arts Centre Corporation Act, 1998, anticipated to take place in the early fall of 1999.

Background:

The Hummingbird Performing Arts Centre Corporation Act, 1998, provides for the dissolution of the old board on the first date on which a lease for the Centre between the City of Toronto and the Corporation comes into force. The Board of Directors of the Hummingbird Centre for the Performing Arts is currently in the process of negotiating the aforementioned lease in parallel to: preparing the required corporate by-laws; other requirements as laid out in the aforementioned Act; proceeding with its own nomination process for nine of the twelve members; and reviewing its business plan.

Having regard for the volume and complexity of the work to be completed by the Board in such a short time, the Board considers it to be critical that the current membership of the Board remain stable until this process is complete. The Board will keep Council advised as to its progress with respect to the transition of the old Board to the new, which is anticipated to be in the early fall of 1999.

The Striking Committee also submits the following communication (March 22, 1999) from Mr. Michael J. O'Keefe, Chair, Toronto District Health Council:

This is to advise you that the Order-in-council for membership on the Toronto District Health Council for City Councillor, Joan King, will expire on May 31, 1999. Ms. King has been providing the perspective of City of Toronto Council and the Board of Health. We request that you provide us with nominations for our Council membership to forward to the Minister of Health. Ms. King may be nominated for reappointment.

The Minister of Health's guidelines require that two candidates must be nominated for each position on Council. District Health Council members are appointed by Provincial Cabinet. The Council, as a multi-stakeholder board, draws upon the personal experience and knowledge of all of its members. However, it is not a representational board. Members must focus on the broader health planning interests and needs of those using the health system.

Approximately 20 percent of our Members are to be nominated by the City of Toronto. Council requests that the City of Toronto Council give consideration to providing the following representation:

(i) one nomination will include a member of the City of Toronto Council;

(ii) one nomination will include a member of the Board of Health; and

(iii) two nominations will include staff members with knowledge of the health, social and human service issues facing the City of Toronto.

The Toronto District Health Council currently includes two staff members from the City of Toronto: Ms. Shirley Hoy and Mr. Eric Gam. We are currently asking for nominations for a member of the City of Toronto Council and a member of the Board of Health. Once we have received your nominations, they will be forwarded to the Provincial Government for approval and appointment by Order-in-Council.

The Striking Committee also submits the following communication (May 4, 1999) from Mr. Ronald Bodrug, President, Scarborough General Hospital:

We understand that City Councillor appointments to various community boards are now under review.

I am writing to request that Brad Duguid be reappointed to the Scarborough General Hospital's Board of Governors. In spite of some timing conflicts with City Council meetings, Brad's attendance and participation at our Board meetings have been strong and his input is valuable to us.

On a number of occasions, Brad also has re-arranged his schedule to be able to participate in special hospital events, most recently the opening of our new Patient Information Centre.

Thank you for your consideration of this request.

We, the undersigned, hereby elect Councillor Pam McConnell, as Chair of the Toronto Community Council.

We have been called to an informal meeting of the Toronto Community Council at 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 11, 1999, to elect a Chair.

We, the undersigned, are in agreement that a meeting is unnecessary as our candidate Councillor McConnell, has the votes necessary to confirm her appointment.

We, the undersigned, submit her name as the person to be appointed as Chair of the Toronto Community Council.)

(City Council also had before it, during consideration of the foregoing Clause, the following report (May 10, 1999) from the City Solicitor:

Purpose:

To advise Council that there is no longer a legal requirement for municipal representation on the board of directors of Children's Aid Societies.

Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:

Not applicable.

Recommendation:

It is recommended that this report be received for information.

Council Reference/Background/History:

Council at its meeting held on February 2, 3 and 4, 1999 appointed Councillors Minnan-Wong and Mammoliti respectively to the board of directors of the Catholic Children's Aid Society for a term of office expiring on November 30, 2000, and/or until their successors are appointed. The Striking Committee at its meeting held on May 5, 1999 recommended the appointment of Councillors Cho and Mihevc to the board of directors of the Catholic Children's Aid Society for a term of office expiring November 30, 2000 and until their successors are appointed.. It also recommended the appointment of Councillors Chow, McConnell, Prue and Sinclair to the board of directors of the Children's Aid Society of Metropolitan Toronto for a term of office expiring November 30, 2000 and until their successors are appointed.

Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:

On April 1, 1999 Regulation 70, RRO 1990 made under the Child and Family Services Act was amended by O. Reg. 199/99. The amendment eliminates the requirement that municipal representatives be appointed to the board of directors of Children's Aid Societies (CAS).

As Councillors Minnan-Wong and Mammoliti were appointed by Council to sit on the Catholic CAS board prior to the amendment of the regulation, it is my view that they may continue to do so, if they so wish, until the expiry of the term of their appointment.

Conclusions:

It is no longer necessary for Council to make appointments to the boards of directors of Children's Aid Societies.
