2.         City Council request that the Province provide an additional $27 million in base funding to address the affordability of child care for all families and $13.5 million in capital funding to mitigate renovation costs in child care centres located outside of schools, with the timing of the provision of these funds to be addressed in the transition agreement identified in recommendation 1.

 

3.         City Council direct that when a provincial framework is available for the development of Child and Family Centres (CFC), Children's Services revise transitional and capital requirements, if needed, to ensure that CFC's in the community and in schools and their corresponding child care are sustainable, accessible and of high quality.

 

4.         City Council request that the Province take the necessary steps to ensure continuity of services for all children by ensuring that for each new subsidy dedicated to ELP the Province provide a corresponding new subsidy for school age.

 

5.         City Council approve an adjustment to the 2010 Approved Operating Budget for Children's Services to include an additional $7.954 million in Provincial revenues for child care to replace the reduction in  Best Start funding, and these revenues be offset by an equivalent reduction in the 2010 budgeted withdrawal from the Child Care Expansion Reserve Fund (CCERF).

 

6.         City Council approve an adjustment to the 2010 Operating Budget for Children's Services, the Child Care Expansion Reserve Fund, and the Child Care Capital Reserve Fund to reflect the receipt of an additional $0.971 million in provincial revenue to expedite the transition to early learning phase 1, as follows:

 

a.         increase the provincial budgeted revenues by $0.787 million with a corresponding decrease in the 2010 budgeted draw from the Child Care Expansion Reserve Fund; and

 

b.         contribute the $0.184 million received from the province in 2010 as a contribution to the Child Care Capital Reserve Fund to be used to assist child care operators to reconfigure their infrastructure in order to accommodate younger children, once sufficient resources are available.

c.         amend the regulations to eliminate the costs of special needs resources and school space from the school board fees for Early Learning Program extended day programs.

 

14.       City Council adopt the following resolution:

 

             "Whereas, the vision of the Early Learning Programs was a seamless day with integrated programming for Early Learning Day Care for children 0-12 years; and

 

             Whereas, this program is being implemented in a fragmented way with insufficient resources and effective governance models; and

 

             Whereas, local government and community representatives are concerned that this fragmented implementation will create service gaps and impact on the lives and well-being of children in the City of Toronto;

 

             Therefore, be it resolved that City Council request that the school boards join them in public consultation to create a strategy and communication with the Provincial government after the municipal elections".
