Rulings (City Council)
Ruling by Speaker Sandra Bussin (Upheld)
Councillor Shiner requested the Speaker to rule on whether Item EX45.34, headed "2010 Funding to Pride Toronto" should have been reported to Council to permit debate at this meeting.

Later in the meeting, Speaker Bussin ruled as follows:

Members, earlier in the meeting Councillor Shiner asked me to rule on whether Executive Committee item EX45.34 should have been reported to Council to permit debate at this meeting.

I have reviewed the situation with the City Clerk and I am now prepared to rule.

I am ruling that the Clerk has followed the procedures in not including item EX45.34 in the report of the Executive Committee before us today.

I make this ruling since the conditions imposed by the original motion had, at that time, been satisfied by Pride Toronto, causing the Mayor to rule this item redundant at committee. A redundant item is withdrawn. This was the end of the item, and as such, there was no item to be reported to Council.

However, I am aware that since the Execuutive Committee took this action, there have been subsequent events which have caused Members of Council to consider this matter anew. I also note that this agenda contains a notice of motion, MM51.3, headed “Revoking Pride Toronto Funding” by Councillor Mammoliti. Accordingly, City Council will have the opportunity to consider this matter, including all of the new facts and developments, at this meeting, if referral to committee is waived, or at the August meeting of the Executive Committee.

That is my ruling.
Challenged by Councillor David Shiner

Review of July 7, 2010 Order Paper
City Council Decision

City Council adopted the July 7, 2010 Order Paper.

Motions (City Council)
Review Order Paper

July 7, 2010 at 9:52 a.m. - Speaker Bussin advised Council of the following:

 

             There are 68 Items left on the agenda. 

 

Yesterday, Council decided to set a time for the closed session during today's Order Paper review.  I am advised that the City Solicitor's report on Government Management Committee Item GM32.3 is not yet available, so I would propose that we schedule the closed session for 6:00 p.m. tonight, if the report has been distributed by that time.  If necessary, we can revisit the schedule for the closed session later in the meeting.

 

Council has decided to consider all the Community Investment Program Items together.  Those Items have been noted on the Order Paper.   Notices of Motions will be considered at 2:00 p.m. today.

 

Members this meeting is scheduled until 8 p.m. tonight.  Given the number of items on the Order Paper, it is unlikely Council will complete the agenda today.  I would suggest that all Members be prepared to continue meeting tomorrow.

Motion to Adopt Item as Amended (Carried)
Rulings (City Council)
Ruling by Speaker Sandra Bussin
Speaker Bussin made the following ruling:

The City Manger has circulated two legal opinions provided by external counsel on this matter. One of the opinions squarely addresses Recommendation 1. In that opinion we are advised that Recommendation 1 is ultra vires, or in other words, beyond the authority of City Council.

Although I share the Executive Committee's concerns for the accuracy of the voter's list, particularly as it relates to tenants, I am also concerned that City Council not jeopardize the integrity of the election or compromise the independence of the City Clerk in her role as the election administrator.

As the opinion sets out, it is important that the City Clerk be impartial and independent from political or other influences in the conduct of her duties as election administrator. It also says that adoption of this recommendation would form part of a trail of evidence that could be used against the City following the election to contest the election results or actions of election officials. As a result, I am concerned that this recommendation could put the Clerk in conflict with the Municipal Elections Act.

Because we are in receipt of this opinion, I have no option but to rule Recommendation 1 out of order on the grounds the matter is ultra vires. I would encourage Members to seek the Solicitor's assistance in preparing any motions to ensure they do not meet a similar fate.

I hope that in the debate on this item, City Council can find a way to address this important issue in way that is in keeping with the principles of the Municipal Elections Act.

Having made this ruling, I believe that a solution has been found. With Council’s indulgence, I would like to ask the Clerk to inform Council what she and the City Manager are prepared to do to address the Executive Committee’s concerns.

The City Clerk advised Council as follows:

Madam Speaker, I fully understand that this issue is to encourage getting tenants on the voters list.

We have completed considerable outreach efforts, which has certainly included tenants to date, and we have far more outreach planned.

To intensify this effort I have spoken with the City Manager and we have agreed that the City Manager will undertake a direct in-person effort to get tenants on the voters list.

Implementing Early Learning: Status Report
City Council Decision

City Council on July 6, 7 and 8, 2010, adopted the following:

 

1.         City Council request that at the newly established Toronto/Ontario table, discussions include the following objectives:

 

a.         negotiating a transition agreement that ensures creation of a sustainable and integrated Early Learning Program in Toronto that reflects the size and complexity of the city's child care system;

 

b.         exploring more flexible funding models, including base funding, to address the affordability of child care to all families;

 

c.         developing new monitoring and reporting mechanisms that satisfy accountability and governance requirements, provide meaningful data to inform policy, and respect the City's role as consolidated municipal systems manager for children from pre-natal to 12 years of age; and

 

d.         identifying strategies to address base funding pressures that increase by $8 million per annum and will total $35 million by 2012, resulting in service cuts of 3,500 subsidized spaces if not addressed.

 

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.

 

7.         City Council provide authority to increase the 2010 Operating Budget for Children's Services by $0.050 million gross $0 net with funding from the Province to expedite the necessary information technology changes related to ELP.

 

8.         City Council approve an adjustment to the 2010 Approved Operating Budget for Children's Services to include an additional $424,900 in Provincial revenues for funding of new fee subsidies for the Early Learning Extended Day program.

 

9.         City Council provide authority to Toronto Children's Services to apply both the Council approved budget guidelines and where necessary, the guidelines from the regulations under the Education Act, to establish per diems for the extended day program with school boards.

 

10.       City Council request the General Manager, Children’s Services, to report to Council in February 2011 on actions outlined in the Recommendations in the report (June 11, 2010) from the General Manager, Children’s Services, with respect to the Early Learning Program and Child Family Centres.

 

11.       City Council request the General Manager, Children’s Services, to report to the Community Development and Recreation Committee by July 2011 on the strategies that could be implemented, including reducing service levels, should base funding requirements not be addressed.

 

12.       City Council forward this report to the Premier of Ontario and the Ministers of Children and Youth Services and Education to ensure that they are informed about the transitional and fiscal requirements of the City of Toronto with respect to ELP.

 

13.       City Council request the Minister of Education to:

 

a.         protect existing child care early learning spaces in schools and ensure sufficient funding to achieve this;

 

b.         ensure that adequate supervision and hot lunches remain available in child care during the transition and be included and funded in Early Learning Programs when implemented; and

 

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".

 

15.       City Council forward the report (June 11, 2010) from the General Manager, Children's Services, titled "Implementing Early Learning: Status Report" to the Chairs of the Local Health Committees for their consideration.
