Surface Drainage Problems on Existing Residential Properties

(All Wards)

The Scarborough Community Council recommends that City Council establish a staff Task Force comprising representation from the Works and Emergency Services Department, Urban Development Services (Buildings Division and Municipal Standards Division), Finance Department and Legal Services to report to the appropriate Committee on the issue of surface drainage problems on existing residential properties and recommendations thereon with a view to providing recourse to affected homeowners such that homeowners are not financially impacted by the cost of remedial work, and further, that the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer provide information to the Task Force respecting any assistance programs that might be available from other levels of government to support such remedial work.

The Scarborough Community Council reports having approved the foregoing recommendation during its discussion of surface drainage problems affecting residences on Lilian Drive in Ward 14 - Scarborough Wexford; the result of which discussion is described in Item (r), in Clause 23 of this Report.
