City Council adopted the April 29, 2009 Order Paper, and all other Items not held on consent.

Motions (City Council)
Review Order Paper 

April 29, 2009, at 9:50 a.m. - Prior to reviewing the Order Paper, Speaker Bussin brought forward the following procedural matter:

 

“At the February meeting, Council considered the Interim Integrity Commissioner’s report on a code of conduct violation by Councillor Ford.

 

Council adopted the following:

 

1.         City Council adopt the finding that Councillor Rob Ford has violated the Code of Conduct.

 

2.         Councillor Ford be required, on the floor of Council at the start of the next City Council meeting, to:

 

            -           withdraw his allegations of any wrong doing;

 

            -           apologize to Councillor Vaughan for his untruthful remarks and false accusations;

 

            -           apologize to all of his colleagues in general for his conduct in this affair; and

 

            -           pledge to re-commit himself to respect the Code of Conduct he has previously sworn to uphold;

 

and further, that Councillor Ford provide Councillor Vaughan with a written and signed apology no later than March 1, 2009, that includes the following:

 

-           a complete and unequivocal retraction of the allegations of any wrong doing;

 

-           an acknowledgement that his conduct and comments violated Council’s Code of Conduct, and the behaviour expected of City Councillors; and

 

-           a pledge to re-commit himself to respect the Code of Conduct he has previously sworn to uphold.

 

As today is our first regular meeting since February, I now call upon Councillor Ford to address this Council and make the apology as directed by City Council.”

 

Councillor Ford apologized to all Members of Council, Councillor Vaughan and withdrew his comments.

 

April 29, 2009, at 10:07 a.m. - Speaker Bussin advised Council of the following:

 

                             Council had previously deferred three Items to this meeting:

 

                -       Etobicoke York Community Council Item EY24.15

                -       Scarborough Community Council Item SC24.7 and

                -       Toronto and East York Community Council Item TE20.65.

 

These Items are listed on the Order Paper under the section headed "Deferred Committee Items".

 

The Mayor has the following Key Matters:

 

            The first is Executive Committee Item EX31.16 on the Donation from Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment for Arenas and Outdoor Ice Rinks.  This will be our first Item of business today.
 
The Mayor's 2nd Key Matter is Executive Committee Item EX31.19 on the Non-Union Compensation (2009).  This will be our second Item of business.

 

Council will consider the other Items in agenda order.


Ruling by Speaker Sandra Bussin
Speaker Bussin made the following ruling with respect to Etobicoke York Community Council Item EY26.30, headed “Massage Parlour Licences 9 Milvan Drive.”

"I would draw Members’ attention to the City Solicitor’s communication EY26.30a which has been distributed on this Item.

The Solicitor has advised that the recommendations of the Etobicoke York Community Council in their current form are not in order for the following reasons:

The Toronto Licensing Tribunal is a quasi-judicial body that must make independent decisions after a hearing. City Council cannot attempt to direct the decision making of the Tribunal, including the sharing of information with the Tribunal.

Similarly, the Executive Director has jurisdiction over the issuing of licences and must determine whether to issue a licence in accordance with Municipal Code Chapter 545, Licensing. Council cannot direct the Executive Director of Municipal Licensing and Standards not to issue licences as this would be contrary to the provisions of the Municipal Code.

I am therefore ruling this Item out of order in its current form. If a Member wishes to propose alternate recommendations for Council’s consideration, then I will hold the item down. The Member should work with the City Clerk’s staff on an appropriate motion."

Councillor Mammoliti challenged the ruling of the Speaker. Councillor Mammoliti subsequently withdrew his challenge.

Ruling by Speaker Sandra Bussin
Speaker Bussin made the following ruling with respect to North York Community Council Item NY25.30 headed “Turn Restrictions along Sheppard Avenue West from Beecroft Road to Easton Road”.

"Recommendation 1 is subject to re-opening, as it proposes to partially undo a decision of City Council made on December 1, 2 and 3, 2008 under item NY20.30.

Accordingly, I must rule Recommendation 1 out of order. However, I am prepared to take a procedural motion to re-open the previous decision, and — should Council agree — a motion to place Recommendation 1 before this meeting."

Motion to Adopt Order Paper as Amended (Carried)

April 29, 2009 at 10:29 a.m. - That Council adopt the April 29, 2009 Order Paper, as amended, and all other Items not held on consent.

April 29, 2009, at 6:10 p.m. - That Council vary the Order Paper and hold the closed session portion of the meeting at 6:00 p.m. on April 30, instead of April 29 as previously scheduled.  (This procedural motion requires a two-thirds vote to carry.)

 City Council on April 29 and 30, 2009, adopted the following:

 

1.         City Council refer the concerns outlined by the Etobicoke York Community Council to the Executive Director, Municipal Licensing and Standards for investigation and a determination of whether grounds exist to refer a particular licensee to the Toronto Licensing Tribunal.

 

2.         City Council direct that the Ward Councillor be notified should this matter be before the Tribunal so he can make representation to the Tribunal if he so wishes.

City Council Decision Advice and Other Information

Speaker Bussin ruled the original recommendations of the Etobicoke York Community Council out of order, for the following reasons:

 

The Toronto Licensing Tribunal is a quasi-judicial body that must make independent decisions after a hearing.  City Council cannot attempt to direct the decision making of the Tribunal, including the sharing of information with the Tribunal.

 

Similarly, the Executive Director has jurisdiction over the issuing of licences and must determine whether to issue a licence in accordance with Municipal Code Chapter 545, Licensing.  Council cannot direct the Executive Director of Municipal Licensing and Standards not to issue licences as this would be contrary to the provisions of the Municipal Code.

Rulings (City Council)
Ruling by Speaker Sandra Bussin
Mayor Miller asked the Speaker to rule on whether the issue of taxes collected by another level of government is outside the jurisdiction of the City of Toronto.

Speaker Bussin made the following ruling:

"Motion M35.3 asks City Council to take a position on provincial legislation that may have an impact on the City’s residents. I have reviewed precedents where City Council has taken a position or made a request of another level of government. I have found that City Council has done so on many occasions. Examples include Items on this current agenda, such as Item EX31.30, which conveys the City’s strong support to the federal government in creating a national securities regulator to be located in Toronto, and Motion MM35.1 which endorses a Private Members Bill about measures to address transit violence.

Council has also taken positions on the Ontario Minimum Wage, the Banning of Handguns, the administration of the justice system as it relates to the bail process and instructions to Crown Attorneys, the Do Not Call List, and many others.

I am ruling that Motion MM35.3 is in order and properly before City Council."

Working in Partnership with the Toronto District School Board, Aquatics Working Group and Other Stakeholders to Find Long-term Funding Solution for TDSB Pools in Need of Viable Revenue Source - Councillor Stintz, seconded by Councillor Ootes
City Council Decision

City Council Decision Advice and Other Information

Speaker Bussin ruled MM35.6 out of order because the Community Development and Recreation Committee is seized of the matter of the funding and governance of school pools.

Rulings (City Council)
Ruling by Speaker Sandra Bussin (Upheld)
Speaker Bussin made the following ruling on Motion MM35.6:

"I have reviewed the motion against the decision of the Community Development and Recreation Committee on April 16 when it considered a similar motion on the same topic under Item CD23.2, headed “Continued Operation and Maintenance of Toronto District School Board Pools.”

For those not familiar with the Committee’s actions, on April 16, 2009, the Committee considered a previous motion on funding of school pools referred to it by City Council, and did three things:

- it directed staff to continue working with the “Aquatics Working Group”
- it referred the matter to the General Manager for a report back when she has changes to school pool use with no net cost to the City
- it referred to staff a motion by Councillor Jenkins calling for a report on a new funding and governance framework between the City, Province, school board and other interested parties.

Although Motion MM35.6 is not identical to the Committee decision, it is on the same topic as the Item debated at Committee and I therefore find that the Committee is seized of the school pools matter.

The motion before us today would amend the April 16 decision of the Committee by, among other things, imposing a two month time frame on the actions. While the Councillor is free to make the case that the decision of the Committee should be revisited due to events that have taken place since the Committee met, the Notice of Motion is the wrong procedural mechanism.

The proper remedy for a Member wishing to debate a matter that is seized by a Committee is to move that the Item be removed from the Committee’s jurisdiction and added to this agenda for debate.

In sum, I am ruling that Motion MM35.6 is out of order because the Community Development and Recreation Committee is seized of the matter of the funding and governance of school pools. I am however, prepared to accept a motion now to remove the matter from Committee and add it to this agenda for debate."

Ruling by Speaker Sandra Bussin
Deputy Mayor Pantalone requested the Speaker to rule on whether the motion to remove Item CD23.2 from Committee, placed by Councillor Shiner, should be debated at this time, or added to the end of the Council agenda, for debate once the other Items remaining on the Order Paper have been completed.

Speaker Bussin ruled that Councillor Shiner had properly placed his motion, and, in accordance with Section 27-60 of Council Procedures, that motion is now debateable and amendable.

Speaker Bussin subsequently requested the advice of Members of Council on whether to consider Councillor Shiner's motion to remove Item CD23.2 from Committee at the end of the agenda and put the matter to a vote:

Absent: 5 Ainslie, Ashton, Cho, Grimes, Thompson 

Ruling by Speaker Sandra Bussin
Speaker Bussin made the following ruling:

"The last matter on our agenda today is to consider a procedural motion placed earlier to add the school pools issue to our agenda.

I have reviewed the events of earlier in this meeting carefully and had a chance to consider the many competing arguments that Members advanced.

Before we proceed, I would like to let Members know that I intend to propose Procedural By-law amendments to the Executive Committee at the earliest opportunity that would require notice to be given of a motion to remove an Item from Committee. Such motions should be considered in a more formal way and treated as new business, in the same way that a notice of motion would be considered.

Let me turn to our current situation. Councillor Shiner has placed a motion to remove the school pools issue from the Community Development and Recreation Committee and add it to today’s agenda.

The Council Procedures permit me to rule where two or more rules appear to be in conflict. In my view, the rule allowing debate on a motion to remove an Item from Committee is in conflict with Section 27-3 that gives Members the right to an efficient meeting. A motion to remove an Item from Committee is, in essence, adding new business to Council and our usual practice to add new business is to first vote on whether or not to waive the normal rules to permit it to be add to the agenda for debate.

As a result, I am ruling that the vote on Councillor Shiner’s motion should take place now, without further debate.

That is my ruling.

To be clear, if the motion carries by a two-thirds vote, we will immediately debate Item CD23.2. If the motion does not carry, we will proceed to consider the bills before adjourning."

(See above for the vote on Councillor Shiner's motion to remove Item CD23.2 from Committee.)
